Rangers and Celtic both won again this afternoon, while Craig Brown’s Aberdeen lost again.
Rangers were first up with what looked like a tricky trip toDunfermlinebut their nerves were settled thanks to an early goal from Bocanegra. He scored with a free header from a corner inside the opening ten minutes.
It was an American double not long after when Paul Gallacher was beaten by a long range from Maurice Edu.
Rangers then ended any hope of a fight back when Naismith latched on to a through ball fromDavisto lift the ball past the keeper. The striker made it four with ten minutes from time when tapped in a Jelavic pass.
Two first half goals sealed victory for Celtic over a strugglingInvernessside, the goals coming from Joe Ledley and James Forrest. It was far from convincing but moves them to within four points of Rangers in second place.
Motherwell heaped more pressure onAberdeenboss Craig Brown with a 1-0 win atFirParkthanks to a late goal from sub Bob McHugh. The game itself was instantly forgettable as both sides struggled to get any fluency in their play.
The home side hit the cross bar twice whileAberdeenstruggled to put any pressure on the Well goal.
Hibs came back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 with Dundee United at Easter Rd. Gary O’Connor scored to put Hibs on top but two goals from Daly and on from Swanson looked to have settled the game.
But the Hibess fought back and an own goal from Scott Robertson and then a strike from Junior Agogo snatched a point.
