In our lone American Abroad game on Wednesday, DaMarcus Beasley wasn't in the squad and Maurice Edu was on the bench for Rangers 7-1 demolition of Dundee United. Kris Boyd already had a hat-trick when Damian Casalinuovo scored United's only goal just after halftime. Kenny Miller was sent off in the 51st-minute, reducing Rangers to ten men. That didn't matter, with Steven Whittaker scoring in the 68th-minute and Boyd adding two more in the 75th and 80th. Madjid Bougherra finished off the onslaught of goals in the 85th-minute.
"He has always managed to get us a level of goals for us but his finishing tonight was fantastic," Rangers manager Walter Smith said of Boyd. "I think the way he took his goals tonight sum him up perfectly, there are very few players can finish the way he does. I was delighted for him as he has been working very hard in training and in games."
Celtic's away game against Kilmarnock was postponed due to uncleared snow around the stadium. “We have been told that the pitch is perfectly playable, but we have also been informed that the match cannot proceed due to the stadium footprint not being cleared," Celtic CEO Peter Lawwell said. "Naturally this is very frustrating for the club and its supporters. As is always the case, it is the responsibility of home clubs to ensure that their own footprint or locality is safe and obviously in this case, this has not been achieved.”
