RANGERS continued their unbeaten Premiership run to reduce the deficit to Celtic to six points in the title race with victory over Kilmarnock.

The visitors had to strike again quickly if they were going to produce a remarkable fightback and time was soon against them. Rangers played with more purpose from the off and they carried more of a threat. The longer Killie kept it goalless, the greater chance they had of ending their wretched record on the road this term. The position of chairman Douglas Park continues to divide It is fair to say that many didn’t agree with their manager’s calls before or during the game or his justifications for them afterwards. When Tavernier fired home from the spot with just seconds of the half remaining, that was that for Rangers. The other three that dropped out – John Lundstram, Glen Kamara and Alfredo Morelos – could have no complaints. Quite how Beale’s side could be so commanding and then so nervous either side of the interval is a mystery. It was a case of job done for Rangers. It was a strange afternoon in many ways. Rangers owed the Ibrox crowd an apology and a performance. Goldson made the decisive intervention to set Beale’s side on their way.

Left-handed reliever Will Smith agreed to a $1.5 million, one-year contract with the Texas Rangers on Saturday and will report to spring training.

Infielder Mark Mathias was designated for assignment to open a roster spot. Smith had a career-high 37 saves for Atlanta in 2021. The 33-year-old was 0-3 with a 3.97 ERA and five saves in 65 relief appearances last year for Atlanta and Houston, which acquired him on Aug.

Rangers cut the gap at the top of the Premiership to six points with the win on Saturday.

Ryan Jack had the ball in the net in the closing stages but the goal was ruled out for offside and the game ended 3-1. Kilmarnock had the first real chance of the second half when they had players queuing up in the box after the Rangers defence were caught out by a quick free-kick. Fans had been calling for Nicolas Raskin and Todd Cantwell to start and they got their wish when Beale named a new look midfield with the two new signings alongside Ryan Jack in the middle of the park.

There was a shout for a penalty when Allan McGregor clattered into Rory McKenzie but it was a portent of what was to come. Inevitably, it was a stay of execution. For Derek McInnes’ side it was indicative of a season in which they have been undone by a succession of similar cheap goals.

Once Odorizzi exercised his player option for 2023, the Braves wanted to get rid of him, and so they sent Odorizzi and $10 million to Texas for Kolby Allard this winter. Texas was reportedly looking to fortify their bullpen in the offseason, but never ended up adding a reliever on a major league deal, unless one counts Odorizzi, who would seem to be slated to be a long man and spot starter if everyone in the rotation is healthy. Smith signed a three year, $39 million deal with the Braves after the 2019 season, but wasn’t terribly good for them in that time, which is why they foisted him and the remainder of his deal off on Houston last summer.

Connor Goldson was on target as Rangers beat Kilmarnock 3-1 and reduced Celtic's advantage to six points.

The hosts ended the match with nine men as the unfortunate Omeonga then suffered an injury after Livingston had used all their subs and Hibs rounded off the win with literally the last kick off the game as Mykola Kukharevych tapped in.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Rangers made major upgrades to their starting rotation this offseason. Saturday, they turned their attention to the bullpen.

He wants to be the guy who is trying to help this team win a ballgame. He’s a guy who has done a lot of great things in the game. He’s a winner. He’s a great teammate. “We have talked about Will for a while,” Bochy said. Smith, 33, blossomed as a closer under Bochy, recording 14 saves after moving to the ninth-inning role in June 2018. He had a career-high 37 saves for Atlanta in 2021 and closed a Major League-high 60 games.

Everybody’s opinion is valid but I’d rather focus on supporting the team on the pitch.” But first half we played some really good stuff and we shouldn’t lose sight of that.“ “We showed good energy,” he told BBC Sportsound.
