Higgins Moves Up to Sixth After Victory in Glasgow

John Higgins' victory in the Grand Prix in Glasgow has moved him to sixth in the rankings
John Higgins has risen three places to sixth in the provisional rankings after winning the Grand Prix title in Glasgow on Sunday.

Higgins won his 19th ranking title, and his first since triumphing in the 2007 world championship, with a 9-7 defeat of Ryan Day, who goes up three places to third in the latest list.

Ronnie O'Sullivan was a quarter-final loser in Glasgow but has extended his lead at the top to more than 9,000 points over Stephen Maguire. Judd Trump, the 19-year-old qualifier who beat O'Sullivan before losing to Higgins in the semi-finals, rises 12 places to 28th.

Steve Davis, at 51 the oldest player on the circuit, is up six places to 22nd after reaching the quarter-finals.
