Rangers hand initiative to Celtic

Motherwell 1-1 Rangers : Celtic are now favourites to win the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League following Rangers' 1-1 draw at Motherwell.

Christian Dailly was the unexpected scorer of Rangers' goal but striker Chris Porter snatched a point for Motherwell with a second-half equaliser from close range.

Rangers still have games to come against St Mirren and Aberdeen but Celtic's superior goal difference tilts the championship race in their favour ahead of their final game against Dundee United. Rangers, three points behind Celtic, now have just one game in hand.

The Gers had gone into the week hoping to win four trophies, three to add to the CIS Cup win earlier in the season, but following the Uefa Cup final loss to Zenit St Petersburg and this draw, only the Scottish Cup is now in their own hands.
