Rangers beat Hearts to go top

[MaccA (behover vacker flicka )]

卡尼又破門了,這次是靠頭,讓流浪者取得兩年來第一次聯盟竿位...

Rangers moved to the top of the table for the first time in more than two years
thanks to goals from Claudio Caniggia and Shota Arveladze against Hearts.

Caniggia had been the hat-trick hero at Dunfermline in the last game.

But Hearts were far more resolute and the Argentinian's diving 41st-minute
header was a mighty relief for the anxious home fans.

They had witnessed plenty of attacking endeavour but little end product - and
it had been the visitors who had twice gone closest to breaking the deadlock.

In the 13th minute only the crossbar denied new signing Phil Stamp his first
Hearts goal as he rose unchallenged to meet Jean-Louis Valois' cross with a
firm header.

The second near-miss was also a header from Valois' supply, a corner which
Kevin McKenna sent on to the base of a post that admittedly had been covered
by a man on the line.

In reply, Rangers had produced many first-half moments to savour but the end
product had either been sustained mayhem in the Hearts box, which ended
unsatisfactorily for the home side, or plain bad finishing.

But the breakthrough came four minutes before the break when Ronald de Boer
sent in a cross from the right and Caniggia got in front of his marker to send
 a diving header past McKenzie.

De Boer's involvement lasted only as long as the 51st minute when he was
replaced by Billy Dodds.

In the 65th minute it was Rangers' turn to rattle the woodwork when
Craig Moore saw his header from a Mikel Arteta corner bounce back off the
crossbar.

With 12 minutes remaining Rangers finally made sure of the points with a move
that began in their own half.

Caniggia was the key man, however, first by sending Dodds off in space down
the left flank, where Hearts might have been expecting Arveladze to be.

The substitute played in a low cross into the box that might well have been
intended for the Argentinian. It was behind him yet also wrong-footed the
defenders, allowing Arveladze to steal in, take the ball past McKenzie and
walk it into an unguarded net.
