SPL Review: Kris Boyd claimed a hat-trick as Rangers ran riot with a 7-1 win over 10-man Hamilton to move to within four points of Celtic in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
Accies took a shock lead through James McArthur after just two minutes before Kenny Miller hauled Rangers back into the game and Boyd found the back of the net three times with goals after 28, 52 (penalty) and 62.
Kyle Lafferty and Nacho Novo then came off the bench to add to the goal haul before Steven Davis put the gloss on the win.
Inverness Caley Thistle's dismal home form continued as they slumped to a 3-1 defeat to an impressive Dundee United.
John Daly headed the visitors ahead just after the break before Craig Conway rifled home a quickfire second.
David Robertson headed home the third from a Conway corner before Adam Rooney netted what turned out to be a mere consolation.
Dennis Wyness scored his first goal for St Mirren to move Gus MacPherson's side off the bottom of the table with a 2-1 victory against 10-man Falkirk.
The former Inverness marksman notched for the first time in 13 months to halt the Buddies' barren run of five straight defeats.
The visitors took the lead four minutes before the break through Jim Hamilton but Falkirk equalised - despite Jackie McNamara being shown a straight red card - when Steve Lovell found the net in the 62nd minute.
The other two matches scheduled for Saturday - Kilmarnock v Aberdeen and Motherwell v Hearts - were postponed.
Killie's Rugby Park surface failed a 10am inspection which was called on Friday afternoon, while Well's Fir Park failed an 11.45am inspection.
Both home clubs could find themselves in trouble with the Scottish Premier League over the cancellation if they are found to have breached rules regarding undersoil heating.
Celtic will look to regain their seven-point lead over Rangers when they travel to Hibernian tomorrow.
