SPL Weekend Review
On Thursday I asked if the SPL would continue with the draw and close games that had so far been played. Turns out the answer was no. Over the weekend four of the matches were won by two or more goals, and a total of 18 goals were scored. Here is a look back at the best of the action.
Saturday Fixtures:
Inverness 0 - 2 Rangers
Inverness vs. Rangers BBC Video
Rangers picked up their second away win of the season under fortuitous circumstances in Inverness.
