Rangers restored its 13-point advantage at the top of the Scottish Premier League with a 2-0 win at Kilmarnock on Tuesday.

Fullback Steven Whittaker hit his 11th goal of the season in the 55th minute before striker Kenny Miller made it 2-0 to the defending champions at Rugby Park.

Rangers had several chances before Whittaker shot into the bottom corner from a narrow angle when the visiting defense failed to clear Sasa Papac's cross.

It was 2-0 six minutes later when Cameron Bell blocked an effort to give Miller the chance to score with a high shot into the net.

Rangers has 67 points to Celtic's 54 after 28 games. Motherwell is another nine points back in fifth after a 0-0 draw with lowly St. Mirren in Tuesday's other match.
