  1. Rangers found 'intent and hunger' missing from last week - Gerrard

    FT: Hamilton 0-5 Rangers

    Rangers showed the "intent and hunger" that was missing from last week's 0-0 draw with St Johnstone, manager Steven Gerrard says.

    "We showed lots of quality - this can be a difficult place to come," Gerrard told BT Sport.

    "St Johnstone came here and lost, they’ve got a new manager, the players are up for it, but I think we made it very difficult for Hamilton with the speed of our play, our intent and our hunger, which was missing last week.

    "I made it clear to the players they’re not good enough yet to think we just have to turn up to these places, we have to come here with a purpose, and I thought we showed that, certainly in the first 45.

    "I’ve been asked a lot are we too reliant on Alfredo Morelos and we have been at times, but I think with the quality we’re trying to build and the players we’re trying to get in here, the players are capable of stepping up and either creating a goal or scoring and I think you saw that here today.

    "Two 5-0 wins on a bounce now and we need to go and do the same at Dundee in terms of the respect we have to show them and to play with that hunger and intent."

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is the name that has been whispered behind the scenes for months. He has already emerged as the prime candidate if he can be prised away from Parkhead

  6. Rodgers' Leicester City link

    Celtic v Motherwell (15:00)

    There was media speculation about Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers going to Leicester City even before Claude Puel parted company with the Premier League club this morning.

    Will the Foxes try to lure the Northern Irishman back to manage in England for the first time since he left Liverpool in 2015?

  8. Rangers were 'emphatic and ruthless'

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on Sportsound

    They were emphatic. They've got this ruthless streak about them just now, maybe since they drew 0-0 with St Johnstone. That result apart, they look clinical, they want to destroy teams, and five different goalscorers as well

  9. Tough schedule for Accies

    FT: Hamilton 0-5 Rangers

    It does not get any easier for Hamilton. They lost to a resurgent Hibernian last weekend before coming up an in-form Rangers today and on Wednesday they travel to face an Aberdeen side buoyed by yesterday's win over St Johnstone.

    Brian Rice has seen something tactically that needed to be addressed, he's done it, and I think it's helped them massively, stopped the gaps, made them a lot more solid. Compliments to Rice and his side for stopping the bleeding and making this more of a contest

  12. Five changes for Celtic, one for Well

    Celtic v Motherwell (15:00)

    There are five changes for Celtic with Kieran Tierney, Nir Bitton, Ewan Henderson, Odsonne Edouard and Scott Sinclair coming into the starting XI.

    Jonny Hayes and Oliver Burke drop to the bench while Jozo Simunovic, Callum McGregor and the suspended Scott Brown miss out.

    Just one alteration for Motherwell with James Scott replacing the absent Curtis Main in attack.

  13. 'Terrific finish from Lafferty'

    Hamilton 0-5 Rangers

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Sportsound

    There's your problem playing with the three, or as it should be five. It's a terrific ball on the inside on what would be Lennard Sowah's position, but Daniel Candeias was allowed to get into acres of space - and so well-timed for Kyle Lafferty to have a lot of comfort to sidefoot it. Terrific finish

  14. FULL-TIME Hamilton 0-5 Rangers

    Rangers score five without reply for the second successive match. Five different scorers today and they narrow the gap on Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic to five points, at least until later today when Celtic host Motherwell.

    A desperately disappointing day for Hamilton and they remain four points clear of bottom side St Mirren.

    GOAL Hamilton 0-5 Rangers

    Kyle Lafferty

    It's taken Rangers almost all of the second half to get another goal but it arrives after a move very typical of their performance today with Daniel Candeias released by Steven Davis on the right and crossing for Kyle Lafferty to apply a low finish.

    Kyle Lafferty brings a new threat for Rangers - Ryan Kent isn't going to be that danger coming into the back post but Lafferty certainly is, and that's a super block from Aaron McGowan

  19. Hamilton 0-4 Rangers

    A good move from Rangers ends with James Tavernier cutting back for Kyle Lafferty to shoot just wide.
