Rangers close in on SPL leaders

It's all change behind Scottish Premier League leaders Celtic, with Rangers and Dundee climbing up the table and Hibernian and Motherwell going down.

Saturday started with a disappointing 0-0 draw between Hearts and Hibernian in the season's first Edinburgh derby.

Hearts seemed the most determined to win, but couldn't convert any of their corners or long throw-ins into a goal.

It gave Rangers the chance they needed to leap-frog Hibernian into second place with a 2-1 win against St Mirren.
