Capital side Hibernian travelled to Ibrox this afternoon intent on blowing the SPL title race wide open.
Reigning champions Rangers secured a convincing 3-0 victory however with goals from ex Hibee’s Steven Whittaker and Kenny Miller, either side of a Kris Boyd penalty, wrapping up the points.
The Gers regain their ten point lead at the top of the table with time running out for Tony Mowbray’s Celtic to close the gap.
Hibs will pick themselves up for a midweek clash with St Johnstone as they attempt to secure champions league football next term.
Walter Smith’s men are now no bigger than the 1/5 on offer from Stan James whilst a Celtic turnaround can be had at a bulky 9/2 (Bluesquare).
To win the SPL without the Old Firm market is dominated by Hibs at 1/2 (Paddypower) whilst Falkirk are favourites to take the plunge at 6/5 (Stan James).
It looks to be no offers on the top goalscorer market as Kris Boyd continues to find the net with frightening consistency.
