Rangers capitalise on Celtic slip-up

Rangers 4 St Johnstone 0

Nikica Jelavic grabbed a double as Rangers steered their SPL title bid back on track by moving to within five points of Celtic again with a 4-0 win over St Johnstone.

Kyle Lafferty and Sasa Papac were also on the scoresheet on what was a comfortable afternoon at Ibrox, after Celtic had lost at Motherwell earlier in the day.

With two games in hand over the SPL leaders, the victory over Saints means the destiny of the championship is again back in Rangers’ hands – if they can take maximum points from their outstanding fixtures.
