GERRARD: I NEED MORE FROM GERS

STEVEN GERRARD laid into his Rangers side despite a 4-1 win at Hamilton.

The Gers were six minutes away from being held by the Accies until

Alex Penny conceded two penalties in three minutes.

And Alfredo Morelos got a late fourth for Rangers to make the scoreline even more flattering.

Boss Gerrard said: “I’m not too pleased with the display. I thought we were average at best. But in terms of the result I’m very pleased. It’s three points and we carry on the momentum from before the international break.”

Ryan Kent gave Rangers the lead with a cool finish just before the break, but Steven Boyd smashed home a superb equaliser 10 minutes before time.

James Tavernier then stepped up to convert both spot-kicks, before Morelos made sure of the points.

Accies chief Martin Canning felt Penny, who used an arm for the first penalty and pushed

Morelos for the second, had been unfortunate.

“The hand ball is harsh,” he said. “I don’t think he puts his arm out to stop it in a deliberate movement. The second one’s a pen.”

The win moved Rangers up to fifth above Hibernian, who lost 4-2 at Celtic on Saturday. Odsonne Edouard scored twice for the Hoops, with Tom Rogic and Olivier Ntcham also on the scoresheet. Florian

Kamberi and Martin Boyle were the Hibees scorers.

Hearts remain three points clear at the top thanks to a 2-1 win over Aberdeen at Tynecastle.

Arnaud Djoum’s headed opener and a Steven Naismith penalty turned out to be enough, with Gary Mackay-steven pulling one back from the spot after the break.

Aaron Tshibola’s header earned Kilmarnock a 2-1 win at St Mirren, which moved them up to third.
