In the Scottish football championship on Sunday, there were two more matches of the 25th round, in which "Rangers" secured a hard-fought victory away against the underdogs "Dunfermline", while "Hibernian", who are fighting for prize places, suffered a crushing defeat to the "Inverness" footballers.
In the Glasgow "Rangers" away match, their opponents were the "Dunfermline" team, whom the "Gers" recently lost to in the Scottish Cup sixteenth finals.
The guests started the game more actively and already in the 9th minute took the lead. Replacing the injured Dado Pršo, Nacho Novo passed the ball from the corner to the penalty area, where the goalkeeper Charlie Adam redirected the ball into the goal while falling.
After 5 minutes, the "Rangers" defender Barry Ferguson's shot was deflected by the home team goalkeeper Dorus de Vries. Shortly thereafter, Kris Boydas failed to capitalize on a great opportunity with his head.
Although the guests controlled the game in the second half, they almost conceded the equalizer. In the 80th minute, a shot on goal by "Dunfermline" striker Jim Hamilton hit the crossbar.
The victory allowed "Rangers" to reduce the gap from "Celtic" to 17 points.
In the other matches of the day, the "Inverness" team crushed the "Hibernian" team climbing the hill 3-0. The hosts built up a commanding lead already in the first half, scoring three goals in a 22-minute span.
Remember that another round of matches between "Motherwell" and "Aberdeen" were postponed due to poor weather conditions.
