Rangers 0-2 Hamilton Academical

Hamilton Academical earned their first league win at Ibrox since 1926 with David Templeton and Darren Lyon scoring to defeat Rangers.

The loss means it is almost a year since Rangers last won three games in a row, with caretaker manager Graeme Murty the latest to fall short.

Former Rangers winger Templeton opened the scoring early in the second half, punishing Ross McCrorie's error.

Lyon secured the win late on, before team-mate Alex Gogic was sent off.

Rangers struck the crossbar through Alfredo Morelos and Danny Wilson.

The victory - Hamilton's first over Rangers since Adrian Sprott scored a famous Scottish Cup winner at Ibrox 30 years ago - moves Martin Canning's side six points clear of bottom club Dundee, and to within three points of the top six.

Morelos missed a series of chances as his goal drought extended to nine matches

Yet Rangers started brightly, with Morelos' flick from Daniel Candeias' cross saved by Hamilton goalkeeper Gary Woods.

The home fans also sang their support for former player Fernando Ricksen in the second minute - to mark the number two jersey he used to wear - after the Dutchman, who suffers from motor neurone disease, made a pre-match appearance on the pitch.

There was room round the outside of the visitors' defence and both Kenny Miller and Morelos were played into the channels but could not get their shots on target.

The home players too often failed to find a team-mate from crosses or cut-backs, but Morelos did have two excellent first-half chances.

A Josh Windass cross found him unmarked four yards out, but the Colombian got his technique all wrong and his header bounced over the bar.

Morelos had another free header in stoppage time, when Jason Holt returned the ball into the goalmouth after Woods had punched a corner half clear, but the striker hit the woodwork with the goalkeeper stranded.

McCrorie's short passback led to Hamilton's opening goal

Templeton had shown some good touches in the first half, but Accies had failed to trouble Rangers goalkeeper Wes Foderingham until the winger was handed a gift after the break. McCrorie's misplaced passback sent Templeton clean through and he rounded the goalkeeper before putting the visitors in front.

Rangers tried to rally, and Hamilton defender Xavier Tomas almost turned a Morelos delivery into his own net, before the Colombian passed up another chance when he failed to make contact with a low driven cross from Candeias.

The former HJK Helsinki striker missed another glorious chance when Ryan Jack played him through after Gogic had given the ball away, but he shot well over.

Murty immediately brought on a new strike pairing of Ryan Hardie and Eduardo Herrera, for Miller and Morelos, but Rangers were caught out by a strong break away by Greg Docherty, whose square ball was stroked home by Lyon.

Woods saved from Windass and Herrera and Wilson headed against the bar, but the comeback attempts were played out in a subdued atmosphere as Ibrox had almost emptied by the time Gogic received a second yellow card for a stoppage-time foul on Hardie.
