Tore Andre Flo led Ranger to their seventh successive victory with a comfortable 2-0 defeat over Aberdeen in the Scottish Premier league today. Flo’s two first half strikes took his season's tally to 14 but it could have been much worse for the Dons who have still not won at Ibrox since 1991.
Dick Advocaat's side have become the early goal specialists since adding Shota Arveladze to their attack and so it proved once more today, with Flo's name on the scoresheet before the game was five minutes old. Thomas Solberg found team-mate Philip McGuire with a backward pass. But it had been hit at speed and the young centre-back could not control the ball and Flo charged in to poke the ball first time past goalkeeper Peter Kjaer.
Flo made it 2-0 in the 20th minute when Barry Ferguson floated the ball over the Aberdeen backline and the striker brought in down and fired right-footed into the roof of the net.
Aberdeen were better after the break but never really looked like getting back into the game. Rangers move to 30 points behind their Glasgow neighbours who needed a last-minute winner for the third time in four league games to beat St Johnstone 2-1 on Saturday.
