Rangers deflate Hearts with second half blitz

Hearts 0

It could have been a far more painful score for the home side but for Roddy McKenzie’s fine form throughout the game. The result also means there will be just a single point separating champions Celtic, who beat Motherwell, and challengers Rangers when the two meet at Ibrox next Saturday for the second Old Firm derby of the season.

Ricksen opened the scoring for Rangers in the 52nd minute and the killer blows were not long in coming. The first came from the penalty spot from Ferguson when Mols was barged over by Austin McCann as he moved to meet a de Boer cross from the left. A couple of minutes later Ricksen made sure with a firm header from an Arveladze cross. Hughes had the final say in stoppage-time.
