Half-Time Report: Steven Smith strike gives Rangers lead against Queen of the South

Rangers have a one-goal advantage at half time of their Scottish Premiership playoff quarter-final first-leg clash against Queen of the South.

The home side had an early chance to take the lead at Palmerston, but Derek Lyle's header from Daniel Carmichael's cross was well held by Cammy Bell.

Kenny Miller had the ball in the net for Rangers after 10 minutes, but his strike was ruled out for offside.

Just before half time, Steven Smith's free kick from 30 yards out went in off the crossbar to give Rangers the lead.
