Jelavic keeps jittery Rangers on Celtic heels

RANGERS kept on the coat tails of Celtic as they made hard work of their 1-0 win over Hamilton yesterday.

Accies were denied the opener when Dougie Imrie has his spot kick saved by Allan McGregor when the game was still deadlocked.

Nikica Jelavic’s strike kept Rangers within touching distance of leaders Celtic. He was fouled by Alex Neil just outside the area and brushed himself off to send a swerving free-kick into the back of the net.
