You know something's strangely amiss when Lafferty scores a hat trick in a competitive match.

It'll make Kilmarnock's late come back all the sweeter.
Going into the game I thought they'd get walloped and I was so, so happy to be proven wrong.
McCourt answered his doubters and showed that he could perform in a big game. His reverse pass in the first half that created a scoring chance for Forrest was the pass of the game . . . Miller went missing . . . Samaras should have got a hat trick (and deserved it) . . . Mulgrew was good going forward but scares the hell out of the spectator when called upon to defend . . . Ness looks like one for the future for R*ngers . . . . and Forrest still looks like he'd get carded if he tried to get into an over-12's youth disco.
R*ngers are still the favourites for the league, but this win makes it much more interesting.
