The Story in 60 Seconds

Rangers defender James Penrice stated that the squad has come a long way since the start of the season, despite disappointment over their second-half performance in a 3-1 victory against Kilmarnock. Rangers secured the win to reach the top of the William Hill Premiership courtesy of two headers from Ryan Naderi and a goal from Kevin Kelsy, before Nicky Clescenco scored a late consolation for Kilmarnock.
