As usual, one Scottish Premier League match took place on Sunday. The league newcomers "St Mirren" and Glasgow "Rangers" club met. Celebrating victory in a tough and eventful match after a late goal by Nacho Novo, Paulo Le Guen's favorites returned to the third position.
In the last match of the 11th round of the championship on Monday, one of the underdogs "Dunfermline" will face Edinburgh "Hibernian."
2 - 3 5' [1 - 0] John Sutton 18' [1 - 1] Charlie Adam 26' [1 - 2] Thomas Buffel 78' [2 - 2] John Sutton (pen.) 85' [2 - 3] Nacho Novo
The match started well for the home team "St Mirren" with John Sutton scoring in the fifth minute after a pass from Simon Lappin. However, it woke up the visitors from Glasgow, and in the 18th minute Charlie Adam equalized with a penalty kick, and by halftime, Thomas Buffel's penalty goal put "Rangers" ahead.
The team coached by P. Le Guen, "Rangers," had a poor start to the season, and when in the 78th minute John Sutton scored a penalty after Julian Rodriguez's mistake against Mark Corcoran and equalized again, it seemed like Glasgow's club's series of poor results would continue. However, repeating a powerful shot by C. Adam that was initially blocked five minutes before the end, Nacho Novo snatched the victory for the "Rangers."
This was the second consecutive 3-2 victory for the "Rangers" away from home, and also the second winning goal by N. Novo in as many matches - the Spanish legionnaire scored his third goal for the Scottish club in the match against "Livorno" away. Winning three points also allowed the Glasgow team to return to the third position and reduce the gap to second-placed Edinburgh "Hearts" to two points.
