Rangers shrugged off the disappointment of Kenny Miller's exit to defeat Inverness Caledonian Thistle 1-0 in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League at Ibrox.
Steven Davis' first-half daisycutter from the edge of the box showed that Walter Smith's men can cope without the influential Miller, who is on the brink of a move to Turkish champions Bursaspor.
The unconvincing win moves the Scottish champions within two points of leaders Celtic, who have played two games more.
