Scottish round-up:  Rangers kept their slim Champions League hopes alive with a 2-1 win over Hibernian at Easter Road.

A Kris Boyd double secured the points but Hibs disproved the theory that they would lie down to their visitors to spite Edinburgh foes Hearts with a spirited display, which saw Derek Riordan find the back of the net, albeit with the help of Brahim Hemdani.

Rangers now need Aberdeen to take at least a point from Hearts to ensure the race for second place in the SPL goes down to the final game of the season at Ibrox.

Dunfermline climbed to ninth place after Freddy Daquin capitalised on a Garry Kenneth mistake to condemn injury-hit Dundee United to their sixth successive defeat.

United manager Craig Brewster was without six injured first-team regulars, in addition to the suspended Barry Robson, and his young team would have taken a first-half lead but for Collin Samuel's wastefulness.

But with 12 minutes remaining Daquin gleefully accepted an invitation to shoot and his goal saw the Pars equal their highest league placing this season.
