Rangers boss Walter Smith was pleased with his players after their 4-0 win over St Johnstone. A double from Nikica Jelavic and goals from Kyle Lafferty and Sasa Papac secured the win.

Smith said: "Celtic were something like 16 games without losing and that's a great run. I said after the game that we need to try and emulate that if we are hoping to retain the championship.

"We will need to go on that kind of run and that still applies. That's what we have to do. Results elsewhere don't really matter that much to us because we have to look at ourselves and how we play."
