Emerging Rangers talisman burrows deeper into fans’ hearts but Ibrox isn’t crowing over toppling Celtic
Striker scores twice as McInnes’ men serve it up to championsAlthough he is relishing being back out in front for the first time since, well, about three minutes before the end of the last league campaign, Derek McInnes is sorely aware how difficult life at the top can be.Already 3-0 up and seemingly cruising, the ‘as live’ table showed Rangers where they long to be on a more permanent basis: at the summit of the Premiership. They then threatened to make a hash of things. All’s well that ends well, for the time being at least. Rangers huffed and puffed after the interval and were punished less severely than they perhaps should have been. Kilmarnock substitute Nicky Clescenco finally got his side on the scoreboard in the final minute after Rangers substitute Vanja Dragojevic realised to his horror that he was the furthest player back. He had Joe Hugill and Clescenco bearing down on him.Ryan Naderi scored twice as Rangers defeated Kilmarnock 3-1.
