Rangers took a 22-point lead over Celtic atop the Scottish Premiership after a 2-1 win over 10-man Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
The hosts were 10 men halfway through the first half when Ryan Hedges, judged to have made no attempt to win the ball by referee John Beaten, was given a red card (26) for tripping Alfredo Morelos in the penalty area. James Tavernier missed the penalty, but the Rangers were in the lead a few minutes later thanks to a strike from Morelos (32nd).
Rangers extended their advantage after the break as Morelos grabbed his second of the game (50) to reach 50 Scottish Premiership goals, but they were not at home and dry as substitute Matthew Kennedy pulled a goal (67).
It provided a nervous twenty minutes for Steven Gerrard’s side, but they held on to bolster their bid for a first title in 10 years.
