Dan Casey is out to gun down Rangers once again
It was the goal that smashed a 27-year hoodoo. And Motherwell's Dan Casey says he’ll treasure it for the rest of his life.
Ahead of the crunch semi-final, the 26-year-old said: “That was a feeling I’ll never forget. It was simply amazing. Getting a result at Ibrox is hard to come by so to get the winning goal was the stuff of dreams. When it happened, I wasn’t really aware of the magnitude of the result. But it was a great moment and it kicked us on for the rest of last season. We went on a good run after that.
Casey is no stranger to pulling off cup shocks after his experience in America with second-tier surprise package Sacramento Republic. In 2022 he was at the heart of their defence as they defeated MLS clubs San Jose Earthquakes, LA Galaxy and Sporting Kansas City en route to the US Open Cup Final. “I’ve also had runs back home in Ireland. I just love playing in cup ties because there are only so many chances you get to win a trophy in your career.”
The stopper said: “We wanted to be on the front foot against them in March. Ibrox is a hard place to go but we decided to just give it a go and get after them. Playing against Celtic or Rangers, a lot of teams sit off and fear them. But the best way to go is toe-to-toe and see where you are at the end.
