Andrew Little scored his first goal for Rangers to rescue a 1-1 draw against Hearts on Saturday and allow the Scottish champions to move ten points clear of Celtic.

Hearts thought they had grabbed the winner when Scott Robinson scored in the 75th minute, shortly after being reduced to 10 men when Christian Nade saw red.

But Little grabbed a 90th-minute equalizer when Lee McCulloch's initial effort was blocked and the 20-year-old substitute reacted quickly to shoot home from close range.

While Rangers enjoys a 10-point lead over Celtic, its Glasgow rival has two games in hand and plays at St. Johnston on Sunday.

Also Saturday, Hibernian routed Hamilton 5-1, Motherwell beat St. Mirren 2-0 and Aberdeen defeated Kilmarnock 1-0.
