Kilmarnock 1 Rangers 3:Kris Boyd again returned to haunt his former club when he grabbed a hat-trick for Rangers in the Bank of Scotland Premier League at Kilmarnock.

It has been more than 12 months since he swapped Rugby Park for Ibrox, but the striker clearly still knows Killie's weak points and how to exploit them.

The goals bring his tally to eight goals in five games against Kilmarnock, and sets Rangers up nicely for Wednesday's Uefa Cup tie against Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel.

Steven Naismith did manage to pull a goal back for the home side but it proved to be too little, too late for Killie.

However, it was not quite enough to spark a Killie fightback and Rangers held on for the win.

Rangers are now 19 points behind runaway league leaders Celtic.
