Rangers ensure Celtic title wait goes on

Celtic will have to wait at least one more week to clinch the Scottish Premier League title after Lee McCulloch scored in the 89th minute to give second-place Rangers a 2-1 win at Motherwell on Saturday.

Henrik Ojamaa put Motherwell ahead in the sixth minute but Steven Whittaker equalized three minutes later and McCulloch scored from about six yards following a long throw from Lee Wallace.

Rangers denied Celtic the title last week when it beat its local rival 3-2 and now has 60 points with six games remaining, six more than third-place Motherwell.

Celtic has 70 points ahead of Sunday's game against St. Johnstone.
