A league above

Rangers scored four second half goals without any reply at Ibrox on Saturday. The Hampden side remain in second place, but are now 22 points behind the league leaders.

Elsewhere, in sunnier climes, a 20-strong Queen’s Park’s youth squad finished their Spanish tour with a perfect record for this year’s Da Vinci camp.

In their final game, the boys defeated Denia 4-1 with goals from Gregor Wylie, Blair Spittal, Thomas Collins and Nicky Fraser.

Earlier, QP beat Valencia Under 18s 4-2 in their first game — despite going a goal down. Helped by a double from Blair Spittal Queen’s fought back to run out 4-2 winners.

Their second game pitted them against an excellent Levante youth squad.

Again the Spiders lost the first goal; again they fought back to win. The scoreline this time was 2-1, with goals coming from Kieran Galloway and Bernard Coll.

The Da Vinci Initiative — which allowed Queen’s Park’s youngsters to take a trip to Spain — is Funded by the European Community, and administered in Scotland by the SFA. The initiative aims to offer young footballers a gateway to a career in the game.
