Haris Vuckic

Rangers will feel they have taken another huge step towards the Scottish Premiership after strikes from Nicky Clark and Kenny Miller handed them a 2-0 play-off semi-final first-leg win over Hibernian at Ibrox.

Twenty-four hours on from receiving the news that prospective chairman Dave King had been passed fit and proper by the Scottish Football Association, Gers were desperate to keep the feel-good factor rolling by claiming a commanding lead to take back to Easter Road on Saturday.

And, with the South Africa-based millionaire watching on from the Bill Struth Main Stand for the first time since a 1-1 draw with Queen of the South in early March just days after a shareholder vote swept him to power, the team did not let him down.

Clark's tidy finish a minute before the interval after some Haris Vuckic brilliance was perfectly timed for the hosts as they overcame a nail-biting opening period.

And Miller's second after 66 minutes means the Glasgow giants are now the firm favourites to progress to a final showdown with Motherwell later this month.
