Rangers came from behind for the second week in a row to maintain their 100% start to the 2010/2011 SPL campaign thanks to goals from Kyle Lafferty and Steven Naismith.
Skacel had given Hearts the lead in 12 minutes after terrible defending from Hearts. Rangers dominated the game but didn’t have the cutting edge and Hearts maintained their lead until half-time.
It looked like it wasn’t going to be Rangers’ day despite constantly attacking Hearts in the second half, especially when Sasa Papac had a shot come off the post. Kyle Lafferty, on as a sub, had other ideas though and scored the equaliser direct from a free-kick.
Time was running out for Rangers but the fourth official indicated that there would be five minutes added on, and Rangers scored the winner in the third of those five minutes thanks to Steven Naismith.
Naismith, who has found some form of late, ran the ball into the Hearts’ box before curling the ball low into the right-hand corner of the net passed Kello who had had a great game up until this point.
In the end it was a well deserved three points, and the fighting spirt just shows why Rangers are champions. It was a great end to a great week for Rangers who also beat Bursasport in the Champions League.
