• Danny Rohl’s side move above Hearts on goal difference

• Hibernian and Falkirk cement top-six spots

Danny Rohl told his Rangers players to stay “on the front foot” in the Premiership run-in after a 4-2 win over Dundee United took the Gers top for the first time in more than two years. Goals from Ryan Naderi, Dujon Sterling, Thelo Aasgaard and substitute Bojan Miovski proved too much in the end for the visitors, who scored through Amar Fatah and Zac Sapsford.

Rangers were 13 points behind Hearts when Rohl took over as manager in October, but they lead the Jambos on goal difference with six games remaining, albeit their rivals have the chance to go back to the top when they travel to Livingston on Sunday. Third-placed Celtic, five points behind their Old Firm rivals, face Dundee at Dens Park later the same day.

The pressure was on Martin O’Neill’s side after the leaders, Hearts, and title-challenging Rangers both won on Saturday, but they meekly failed to meet the challenge. On a poor Tannadice pitch, the Hoops were shaken by a Will Ferry goal in the 51st minute before Emmanuel Agyei drove in a second in the 63rd minute.
