Rangers send Celtic message

JEAN Claude Darcheville and Nacho Novo both claimed a double to fire Rangers to their 10th consecutive Clydesdale Bank Premier League win as Walter Smith’s men showed theirtitle credentials.

Hearts found themselves ripped apart by a rampant Rangers side, who sent out a clear message to rivals Celtic by maintaining their four-point advantage at the summit of the SPL.

Darcheville claimed the opener after 25 minutes when Ferguson collected a neat pass from Steve Davis before sweeping the ball out to Darcheville as he cut inside from the left and the striker did well to squeeze the shotinside the far post from a tight angle.
