Martyn Waghorn believes Rangers are better than rivals Hibs

Rangers striker Martyn Waghorn believes his team are a 'better side' than Scottish Championship title rivals Hibernian.
The former Sunderland forward took his goals tally for the season to 17 with a double in Saturday's 4-0 win over Alloa.
That result came after leaders Rangers had lost 2-1 at Hibs last week, a result which allowed the Edinburgh team to narrow the gap at the top of the table to five points.
The Easter Road side won this weekend's fixture at St Mirren 4-1 to keep the pressure on Mark Warburton's team.
But Waghorn isn't worried about that because he believes Rangers are a superior outfit and he said: "I'm not really bothered (about Hibs).
"It's more about us and I know that we'll win the majority of the games we play. If we keep doing that we're going to win the league.
"Hibs caught us on an off day and credit to them but we're a better side than them and we've shown that in the league with 12 out of 13 wins.
"We will keep doing what we do and they can try and catch us. (Losing to Hibs) was a setback but the best way to come back was to play like we did against Alloa.
"They have been having their digs and saying things in the papers. It was just important we bounced back in the right way and showed our quality on the pitch rather than in the papers.
"It was one game and one win and we are still five points ahead of them. They can say what they want but we know how good we are and we're going to build on that."
Waghorn, meanwhile, has refused to rule out the prospect of personally scoring more than 30 goals this season.
Asked if that was achievable, he added: "I don't see why not. I'm on 17 and I still think I can get better, I still think there is a lot more to come.
"On another day I could have got three or four. I think it's achievable. I want to keep working hard for the team."
