Rangers' narrow victory brings them up to second place, a point behind Airdrie who are also leading the goal average, It looks as if Rangers will have to be fighting till the last match of the season to retain the champion- ship which they won last year. Celtic, who had an easy victory, are to meet Dundee in the Cup final. As Motherwell lost on their own ground Falkirk also went down, the relegation pro- blem is still very open with five, if not six teams struggling to get out of the last two places.)
