Kilmarnock 0-4 Rangers
Updated: Sunday, 09 Nov 2008 18:56
Kris Boyd was on target once again as Rangers reduced Celtic's lead at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League to two points with a win at Kilmarnock.
David Weir opened the scoring early in the second half, before Boyd claimed his 11th goal of the season - and Kenny Miller and Steven Whittaker both netted late on.
However, Boyd's tally - and the scoreline - could have been even higher had he converted a first-half penalty.
Boyd could have killed off any hope of a Killie comeback with a long, low shot - but the effort lacked power and was easily smothered by the goalkeeper.
Kirk Broadfoot was then booked for diving in the box after going to ground under pressure from Combe even though it looked like his foot was clipped by the goalkeeper.
There was concern for Rangers when Thomson left the pitch on a stretcher, but the travelling supporters were quickly celebrating again when Miller met a Davis cross to nod home from a few yards with three minutes to go.
Thomson's replacement, Steven Whittaker, put the final gloss on the victory when he volleyed home in the last minute.
