Hearts handed Rangers their second away defeat of the season when they beat Walter Smith’s Rangers 2-1 at Tynecastle. All the three goals came in a six minute period in the first half ( 20′-26′). Marius Zaliukas and Laryea Kingston were on target for Hearts, with Christos Karipidis heading into his own net from a Charlie Adam set piece.
The result reduces the gap between 2nd placed Rangers and 3rd placed Hearts to seven points. It is also Hearts’ fifth successive win in the SPL. Celtic however have the chance to go seven clear at the top when they visit Inverness later this afternoon.
