Gerro 7 heaven
RANGERS moved to within two points of top spot in the Scottish Premiership after running riot against 10-man Motherwell at Ibrox.
After Curtis Main had cancelled out Scott Arfield’s opener for Gers, the game turned on Carl McHugh’s second yellow card for handball in the 34th minute.
James Tavernier scored the penalty and Steven Gerrard’s men did not look back.
Eros Grezda (2), Alfredo Morelos, Glenn Middleton and Arfield’s second goal made it a mauling of Motherwell.
Celtic moved to the summit, leapfrogging Hearts on goal difference, following their goalless draw at Livingston.
Brendan Rodgers was angry Livingston’s Dolly Menga escaped a red card after clashing with Ryan Christie.
The Hoops boss said: “He should have been sent off.”
