Following last weeks disappointing loss to Hearts, Walter Smith's Rangers responded with a rousing 7-1 shocker over Hamilton Accies. Sarcasm aside, the match started well for Hamilton but went downhill fast. Two minutes after the start Chris Swailes' cross was re-directed in by James McArthur to give the Accies the lead. The carnage began at the eleventh minute as Kenny Miller picked up a loose ball at the edge of the box and sent the ball to the back of the net. The match stayed close with only Kris Boyd's goal at the twenty-eighth minute on ledger to bring it to a 2-1 scoreline at the break. However with the re-start, the match turned into a one-sided affair with Kris Boyd scoring from the spot seven minutes in as Martin Canning was shown undeserved red-card. While I'm opening up a can of worms, quality unbiased decisions are important in the game and referee Calum Murray quick red-card was completely uncalled for. Down a man now, the dogs needed to be called off as Rangers as Kris Boyd completed his hat-trick two minutes past the hour with Steven Davis feeding him a pass with an open goal. The goal-fest continued in the final ten minutes as the Rangers padded their stats against a beaten team with Kyle Lafferty, Nacho Novo and Steven Davis adding their name to a 7-1 devastation of Hamilton.
