Neil Lennon was sent to the stand as his Hibernian team let slip a two-goal lead at Kilmarnock.

Lennon was ordered off by referee Kevin Clancy moments after Kris Boyd netted on the rebound to earn Kilmarnock a 2-2 draw after a disputed 61st-minute penalty, awarded for a Ryan Porteous handball.

Florian Kamberi and Porteous had put Hibs two ahead inside the first nine minutes but a stunning strike from Jordan Jones and then Boyd's effort levelled matters in the space of three second-half minutes.

Rangers moved to within six points of Ladbrokes Premiership pacesetters Celtic with a 2-0 home win over Hearts.

Jamie Murphy's 41st-minute goal gave Rangers the half-time advantage at Ibrox and Russell Martin wrapped up the victory with two minutes remaining.
