Dick Advocaat, the Rangers manager, was furious with his players for losing at St Johnstone yesterday, a result that leaves the champions 12 points behind Celtic and in fourth place behind Kilmarnock. Dick Advocaat, the Rangers manager, was furious with his players for losing at St Johnstone yesterday, a result that leaves the champions 12 points behind Celtic and in fourth place behind Kilmarnock. A 30-yard strike by the St Johnstone full-back Momo Sylla gave his side a rare win against Rangers, who suffered their third defeat of the season.

Advocaat's side have now lost more games this season than in the whole of the last campaign. Celtic, who beat Dundee United 2-1 on Saturday, top the table with 34 points.Advocaat was livid: "I've got a team of big-heads," the Dutchman said "It was a hopeless performance. I've got Scottish internationals and Dutch internationals and they were very poor."My players have no idea about football They want to look good in their red and white [away shirts]. I'm sick of it."He threatened a clear-out if Rangers fail again in Wednesday's upcoming Champions' League match at Sturm Graz. "If they don't give the performance I want on Wednesday, then it is over and out for some players."He continued: "Too many players are spending too much time during the week playing golf and working on the internet." Five of Rangers' six Dutch internationals - Arthur Numan, Ronald de Boer, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Fernando Ricksen and Bert Konterman - are involved with an internet venture from which they receive profits.St Johnstone went ahead with a Keigan Parker penalty after 18 minutes after he had been pulled down by Sergio Porrini. Rangers' new signing Kenny Miller struck a long-range equaliser 10 minutes after the break but Sylla matched that with an excellent winner in the 67th minute.Advocaat could offer a lengthy injury list as an excuse - although the home side had 19 players unavailable themselves while Rangers fielded eight full internationals, the same total St Johnstone have had in their entire history.The Kilmarnock midfielder Ian Durrant shrugged off an upset stomach and a whack on the knee to help his side climb above Rangers into third place, extending their unbeaten run to 10 matches with their victory over St Mirren at Rugby Park.The home side bounced back after Mark Yardley's opener with goals from Andy McLaren and Alan Mahood..

Karrie Webb beat Dottie Pepper on the first hole of a playoff to win the AFLAC Champions tournament in Mobile, Alabama, and clinch LPGA player of the year honors for the second straight year. Karrie Webb beat Dottie Pepper on the first hole of a playoff to win the AFLAC Champions tournament in Mobile, Alabama, and clinch LPGA player of the year honors for the second straight year. The victory at Magnolia Grove's Crossings Course on Sunday was Webb's seventh of the year on the LPGA Tour and was worth $122,000.Webb won the playoff with a two-putt par after Pepper got in trouble when her drive trickled into the rough, leaving her in a bad lie and she was unable to advance the ball to the green."I've had two unbelievable years," said Webb, whose 13 wins over that period are the most in a 24-month stretch on the tour since Nancy Lopez won 17 in 1978-79. "At the end of this year, I'll sit back and relax and look back on what I've done."It's a great feeling to have a year like this and win the player of the year."Webb's victory lifted her 2000 earnings to a record $1,815,053, and if she wins in the season-ending Arch Wireless Tour Championship in November, she will become the first woman to win $2 million in a year on the LPGA.She was the first player to win $1 million on tour in 1996.Pepper and Webb staged a dramatic head-to-head duel down the stretch of the final round. Nancy Scranton, the tournament leader the first three days, was in the mix until she bogeyed the 72nd hole, costing her a chance to advance to the playoff.Pepper closed with a 67 and Webb a 69 as they tied at 15-under 273. Scranton shot a 72 and was one stroke back.After making five straight pars on the back nine, Webb reeled off birdies at 15, 16 and 17 to catch Pepper at 15 under. Both missed birdie putts on 18, then waited to see if Scranton would join them in the playoff.Pepper was first off the tee on the playoff hole - the 18th - and hit the ball in the rough."I was going to hit a driver but when I saw Dottie in the rough I went back to 3-wood which is what I hit all week," said Webb, who had finished second in this tournament three times. "I just wanted to put the ball in the fairway."After Webb hit her second shot 20 feet behind the pin, Pepper's approach shot advanced only about 50 yards, well short of the green behind some small trees."I had the worst lie you could possibly imagine," said Pepper, who won $75,500.
