Rangers maintained its 10-point lead over city rival Celtic on Saturday with a 3-0 win over Falkirk in the Scottish Premier League.

Steven Davis scored the first goal in the 18th minute and set up two more in the second half to keep Rangers well clear of Celtic, which won 1-0 at Hamilton through Denmark striker Morten Rasmussen's first goal for the club.

Davis curled in a free kick at Ibrox and crossed to John Fleck to make it 2-0 12 minutes into the second half. Five minutes later, he passed to Steven Whittaker, who scored with a low shot from just inside the area.

Defending champion Rangers has 54 points, although Celtic has played a game fewer for its 44.

Third-place Hibernian beat St. Mirren 2-1, St. Johnstone beat Hearts 1-0 and Dundee United drew 4-4 at Kilmarnock having led 3-1 after just 33 minutes.
