Rangers’ troubles deepened with a 1-0 Scottish Premier League defeat against Kilmarnock and the loss of their unbeaten home record on Saturday.

Four days after the 140-year-old Glasgow club was deducted 10 points for seeking bankruptcy protection, Rangers lost to a 12th-minute goal to Dean Shiels.

Defender Sasa Papac was sent off as the defending champions’ first loss in 14 matches at Ibrox also ended a run of eight straight home wins over Kilmarnock.

Rangers were left 14 points behind leaders Celtic, whoo play at Hibernian on Sunday.

The 54-time Scottish champions have almost no chance of successfully defending their title.

Third-placed Motherwell beat Hearts 3-0, Dundee United drew 0-0 with St Mirren and Inverness drew 1-1 at Dunfermline.
