Nathan Scarborough gave Clapton the lead early in the second half from the penalty spot following a foul on Ashley Taylor-Forbes.
And Scarborough then doubled his side’s advantage on the hour- mark, turning his marker on the edge of the area before rifling into the bottom corner. Rangers midfielder Ade Cole was named man of the match for his driving runs and pinpoint passing.
