Cedric Itten post Rangers rebirth with 13 minute hat-trick in BSC Young Boys' win over Basel

Cedric Itten scored a 13 minute hat-trick as BSC Young Boys picked up a big win over Basel in the Swiss Super League.

The former Rangers striker has had a rebirth since leaving Ibrox with his second-half treble keeping the runaway leaders a whopping 18 points clear at the league summit. It's just one league defeat in 25 outings and it was a special occasion at the sold-out Wankdorf as the ex-Light Blues man marked the "125 Years YB" anniversary game in stunning style.

His first goal was a classic striker finish as the hitman followed in on a shot from his team-mate. Basel's goalkeeper didn't deal with the effort properly and spilled the ball with the 26-year-old on hand to fire home the rebound. His next effort came from the penalty spot as he fired the ball into the roof of the net in emphatic fashion before he rounded off his brilliant display with a bullet header.
