Rangers increased their lead at the top of the cinch Premiership with a thumping 6-1 win over Motherwell on Sunday, a day after Celtic, Dundee United and Hearts all dropped points. The latter duo lost to St Johnstone and Aberdeen respectively with the Dons jumping into the top six.

There was a significant result in the Championship with Dunfermline losing 4-2 at Arbroath despite taking an early 2-0 lead. It led to Pars fans turning their anger towards manager Peter Grant who was ultimately relieved of his duties on Sunday.

The Old firm are back in European action this week, while Ross County and Hibs will play the league fixture which was called off on Saturday with it rescheduled for Wednesday evening.
