McLeish pays tribute as resilient Rangers go top

Rangers 3 Hearts 2

A 3-2 Ibrox win, which featured two goals from in-form striker Nacho Novo, was enough to leapfrog Celtic, who had been held 2-2 at Dundee earlier in the day.

The game was the latest in a high-profile sequence for McLeish's men, who had previously beaten Celtic twice in 10 days.
