Rangers 3 Aberdeen 1:Kyle Lafferty netted only his third goal of the season as Rangers moved to within potentially two games of wrapping up the Scottish Premier League title.

Lafferty’s previous contributions against Aberdeen may have been somewhat dubious — namely the ‘cheating’ tag he earned for a feigned headbutt last season - but he made the headlines for the right reasons at Ibrox tonight.

Lafferty’s effort was sandwiched between strikes from Steven Davis and Kenny Miller, with a Darren Mackie goal nothing more than scant consolation for the Dons as Rangers moved 13 points clear at the top of the table.
