Kenny Miller scored twice as Rangers came from behind to beat Hibernian 4-1 on Sunday and move four points clear of Celtic in the Scottish title race.

Rangers fell behind inside the first 14 seconds when Merouane Zemmama threaded a pass through to Anthony Stokes, who fired third-place Hibs ahead with an angled drive.

Rangers equalized through Miller in the 21st minute, and Kris Boyd headed home before the break for the defending champions.

Nacho Novo put Rangers further ahead in the 53rd and Miller scored a second to complete the comeback and move Rangers to 40 points.

Celtic beat Hamilton 2-0 on Saturday to move to 36 points, four more than Hibs.
