Naderi's brace puts Rangers top of Scottish Premiership

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 18:24 · Archive

Ryan Naderi scored twice as Rangers beat Kilmarnock 3-1 to move top of the Scottish Premiership.

Ryan Naderi scored twice as Rangers moved top of the Scottish Premiership with a 3-1 win over Kilmarnock. The German striker headed home twice in the first half to take his tally for the season to six goals. Kevin Kelsy was also on target before the break as Rangers leapfrogged Celtic, who will move back top if they get a result at Motherwell on Sunday.

It was Rangers' sixth consecutive league win, but they missed out on a fifth successive clean sheet when Kilmarnock substitute Nicky Clescenco netted on a last-minute counterattack. Sky Sports reports that Rangers manager Derek McInnes would have been less than impressed with their second-half performance, as bottom club Killie passed up a series of chances before finally getting their reward.

Elsewhere, Hearts eased to their biggest home league win in three-and-a-half years with a 5-0 demolition of St Mirren. Laurent Mendy fired them ahead in the 20th minute, with Calvin Miller scoring two penalties either side of half-time, before Claudio Braga and Josh McPake added further goals. Hearts remain third, comfortably the top scorers in the league, and face Nordsjaelland in the Conference League at home on Thursday.
