Before Rangers scored a fourth, why have the headline with the description?

What I see as wrong with this isn't so much their use of that wording - you see it all the time - but that wording with what's underneath it.

The headline is "Rangers (sic) press for fourth goal" but the text describes a Dundee chance being blocked then missed on the rebound.

Mad that despite how godawful the article is, the worst thing in that tweet is still Wings.

 

It's not though, it has to be the "Celtic or Rangers" bit.  That article must have been sitting on ice for the last seven years before it got the nod, it's no surprise they missed the obvious errors in their excitement to get it out.

Predictable entry in the Scottish Football section.

They also had Brendan Rodgers watch in the live text for today's games involving Aberdeen, Rangers, Dundee United and Inverness CT.

From the BBC's match report of the Aberdeen - Rangers game yesterday

Quote

Andrew Considine passed up two huge chances but made a vital late block to deny Rangers' Alfredo Morelos.

I may be remembering this wrong, but was it not McKenna that made the fantastic challenge on Morelos late on?

You're remembering it wrong

ETA - Mckenna may have made a late challenge, can't fully remember but I think the report is referring to the chance from the corner where it dropped for Morelos and Considine threw himself in front of it.
