RANGERS clinched a third straight Scottish league title by a single point yesterday with a 5-1 win at Kilmarnock on the last day of the season.
Second-place Celtic needed its fierce rival to draw or lose to have any chance of winning the championship, but Rangers scored three times in the first seven minutes to end all uncertainty. Kyle Lafferty opened after 47 seconds, Steven Naismith made it 2-0 and Lafferty struck again to build an unassailable early lead. Nikica Jelavic scored at the start of the second half and Lafferty completed his hat-trick in the 53rd as Rangers stretched its record to 54 titles.
