00:00Thank you very much Emma, Rangers winless in the last five games, they hadn't scored in the last three before Niko Raskan and Boyan Miofsky struck at the tail end of that first half and, well it does ease some of the huge amounts of pressure that are on Russell Martin, certainly won't release it.
00:25But there's still that potential vulnerability about the Rangers that Miofsky will still feel that if they can get the next goal that they can make a fist of this tie yet.
00:40Martin Boyle had those chances in the first half to put Hibernian in front, one disallowed, the other two not taken,
00:53and that has been hugely costly for the Edinburgh side.
00:58I thought Jack Ross summed it in the first half pretty accurately there from a Hibs perspective.
01:08Not a great deal of control in the game but most boxes have been good and as much as obviously you'd still expect that to pan out to a certain degree in terms of the danger that they have,
01:18I think they've got to try and gain a greater control in the game, they've got to spend a little bit more time on the ball.
01:25The transition is key for Hibs of course, when they do win that back the spaces that are there in the Rangers defence they go and try and exploit.
01:37But it takes a lot of energy and effort to spend the majority of the game out of possession.
01:49There's Mancoma, no changes for either side going into the second half.
01:59Mikey Moore, seeing the space inside now looking to release Miofsky and Bashiri, does his defensive work well?
02:11That was better for Mikey Moore because I think he struggled to find how to get in and affect the game but start the second half there driving inside and playing a penetrative pass.
02:21And he gets Sam into Asgard, deflection on it, wide it goes and out for the corner kick, Rangers looking to start off this second half the way they ended the first.
02:33That's a good play from Asgard, takes and shifts it quickly, I think it's Grant Hanlon that's able to get a vital block in there as well but Asgard starting to show what he's capable of in a Rangers jersey.
02:49That's a good point.
02:52Time here to Raskan was the combination that broke the deadlock, it's the one that's dealt with by Grant Hanley.
03:09He's trying to keep a close eye on Nico Raskani, scampered away from him to rise for the opener.
03:17Tamanir again looks from post towards Raskan, Chaiwa was there, and Zambian has the ball under control.
03:27It looks as if Raskan had got the steel on him again as the corner came in.
03:37The hips man was able to get his head on it but it looked for a split second as if Raskan was going to be able to get another header on target.
03:46To Bowie.
03:52That's far better is what we were talking about.
03:56The ball goes up to Kieran Bowie being able to link the game normally very very good at it but in the first half it was all a little bit too scrappy and that can help you to gain a bit of control on the game.
04:14The ball goes up to Kieran Bowie, gets Sam back for Raskan.
04:20Cornelius, Suter, as he wants it, indicating he wants it quicker to come out to this right hand side.
04:27Now Moore but Urbita, a lot between Moore and his intentions.
04:33Now Bowie again looking to pin himself to Suter.
04:38That's Leavitt, Tamanir in to break it up, Leavitt.
04:43He goes back in and wins it for his side.
04:48We go Ma, just misjudging that and Cornelius will lose out to Boyle.
04:53Try one, Leavitt.
04:58Possession in the Rangers half for Hibbs.
05:05Cadent looking to free up the space for the delivery and it's Butlin's ball.
05:10That's comfortable in the end for Jack Butlin.
05:13He really just needed somebody to be making a run across the face there.
05:17Just got to think that when the ball does go to Nicky Cadent, he can't afford to stay a yard or two off him.
05:27You've got to get touch tight and as the ball's getting played to him, you've got to get right on top of him.
05:32Otherwise you know he's going to flick it out of his feet and whip it into the box.
05:36Sam, Asgard, De Monde.
05:45Asgard again, it's time for Moor.
05:51It just never ceases to amaze me the amount of teams that when they get into those wide areas they are just intent on recirculating it out the other side and then never actually attempting to penetrate.
06:13The last gap, Mioski on the move.
06:22Those balls there, they're very, very difficult and you've got to stretch in the wide areas to create the gaps to potentially go through the middle.
06:31They're far too often and Rangers are not alone in this but there's so many teams that they are unwilling to go and try and exploit the wide areas.
06:40They may be two up but the protests and the pressure continuing on the decision makers.
06:47There's Anna Ibrox, remember, Chairman Andrew Kavanagh, flew in from the States for this game.
06:53Here's Bowie, if he can get the shot away.
06:56Oh, they sat up nicely for him, he had a bit of space in that box.
07:03It's far too easy, far too easy.
07:05It's just a simple ball over the top.
07:07And look at the space he's got, chokes his shot.
07:10Another disappointing moment from Kieran Bowie and from Hibbs in an attacking sense.
07:15But one straight ball and all of a sudden strikers in the box with so much space.
07:21And it's those gaps between the centre-halves and the full-backs that are causing real problems.
07:26You saw the one with Martin Boyle with a header from Nicky Cadden's cross.
07:31The guys were obviously talking about it there with Cornelius backtracking.
07:35McGomach's got to recognise, he's got to fill round and cover that danger.
07:40And on that occasion, Tavenier's higher up, John Souter's a little bit narrower,
07:45and simple ball at the top and Kieran Bowie's got acres of space.
07:48He didn't even have to do anything.
07:50He didn't even have to do anything.
08:00It goes Moore.
08:03Tavenier now, Miofsky the target,
08:05and the header comes off the arm of Bashiri.
08:08It certainly looked to be tucked towards his side.
08:11And then to appeals from the Macedonian striker.
08:23VAR and Dallas and David Dickinson have checked and cleared the potential handball for the handball.
08:39From Bashiri.
08:42Raskan again steps up a gear, beats Ghassam.
08:51The strike on, it clips the top of the bar, wonderful effort from the winger,
08:57and he's a fraction away from making it safe for Rangers.
09:02It's that driving run from Raskan that initiates the attack.
09:06It's a great strike from Ghassam.
09:11Cutting inside and then checking again.
09:15Just trying to create half a yard to get the strike away.
09:26Vita and all his options were closed off.
09:28Ghassam and Miofsky.
09:30What a goal-saving intervention from Grant Hanley,
09:34and that keeps Hips alive in this tie,
09:36but just they're currently making all their own problems.
09:42Bowie pulled back by Tavenier.
09:44That will be a pre-kick and a yellow card for the Rangers captain,
09:47but it was so nearly game over.
09:49Well, I mean, kamikaze stuff from Hips here,
09:54because Jordan Abita should be playing forward.
09:57There's players that are in space up there.
10:00He's looking right at Ghassam as he plays it.
10:03Credit to Grant Hanley.
10:04He does brilliantly to get back and make the block.
10:07But again, there's another incident where,
10:10when the ball comes to Nicky Cadden and he goes backward,
10:15and he almost gives it away.
10:17Going forward, there's gaps in there,
10:19and then that ball that eventually does go forward,
10:22Kieran Bowie just spins James Tavenier up.
10:25A little bit too easy.
10:28Well, that one drifts beyond all the chasers.
10:31Hanley was the closest to it.
10:33You see here, look at the space.
10:42You've got to say, that's one of those instances that's a good fill.
10:46It's a fill that's needed from Tavenier.
10:48That's the Rangers not looking too clever at the back there.
10:53Buckland, Cornelius and Diamonde,
10:56but nobody managed to work their way out.
10:59Hips are preparing a change.
11:01Dan Barlasa, the Middlesbrough loanee, will be coming on shortly.
11:05It's won by Raskan.
11:11Steps inside Mulligan, deflection on the cross,
11:14and Salinger is an easy take.
11:16Now launches it long,
11:18sensing that Bowie can cause problems for Suter and Co.
11:22That's great play from Raskan.
11:26Puts Chaiwa under some serious pressure,
11:29it dispossesses him and then drives forward again.
11:33That's a good pass from Levitt.
11:37Now McGrath, he was hauled down, and it will be another yellow card this time.
11:42Muhammad Diamonde.
11:46You see the importance in playing forward passes.
11:50Looks like Levitt's under a bit of pressure,
11:52he's going to play a square pass and all of a sudden Rangers can press it.
11:55Plays it round the corner and it alleviates all that pressure,
11:59and all of a sudden they're attacking.
12:01Then another forward pass and it looks like McGrath's about to bust onto the backline.
12:05Two good forward passes and you break the whole momentum of Rangers.
12:10They need to, and that's what I'm talking about in terms of
12:15when Rangers need to be braver in the final third.
12:18They need to take greater risk in the final third with their passing.
12:21Hib's doing it there, and all of a sudden you can get the rewards.
12:24Quickly taken, and Levitt looks to find the angle,
12:30to Hanley, down goes Boyle.
12:33There's some rather half-hearted appeals from the Hib's players there.
12:38They will have to settle for the corner.
12:44Bayard has had a quick look and they're quite happy that there's nothing untoward.
12:48I was just going to say, it's always quite telling the players' reactions for it.
12:52Can't really see much there, but Martin Boyle's not complaining.
12:55Not a great defender, again, from Rangers.
12:59You know, they're 2-0 up. They should be growing in confidence,
13:03but I just feel that there are still opportunities there for Hib's.
13:08There will be Nicky Caden to whip this one in with pace.
13:17Right along that six-yard line.
13:20Caden takes its front post.
13:24They've got the flip from McGrath before Rangers were able to get it away.
13:30Oh, and there's trouble here for Mulligan, but manages to recover the situation and win the free kick.
13:38Yeah, almost in serious trouble.
13:42Josh Mulligan manages to avert at the last moment.
13:47I mean, there's another simple ball into the boxing.
13:50Looking like they're going to trouble the goalkeeper.
13:52They've passed up some really good opportunities this afternoon.
13:56Well, he's making that change in the middle of the park.
14:01Dan Barlasa coming on for his second appearance, got 34 minutes against Dundee.
14:11And similar this evening as Dylan Levin is the man to make weight.
14:28Looks good.
14:29Two down last week to gain a draw against Dundee United.
14:34Nicky Caden.
14:46Offed it.
14:47Curling ball.
14:49Picked up on the far side.
14:51McGrath.
14:55Mulligan.
14:56Shywa.
14:58Caden.
14:59They take Moore on here to work the spin.
15:03The cross is well defended by the teenage winger for Rangers.
15:07Couldn't keep it in play though.
15:08Wasn't sure that the whole ball was over.
15:12Just was never able to get the ball at his feet.
15:17Nicky Caden and in the end, Mikey Moore does defend the situation pretty well.
15:20Half an hour to go.
15:25Key for Rangers that they do not concede.
15:32A beat up.
15:34Cadden.
15:35It's a great ball in towards Bashiri and now out comes Butlins.
15:38Good strong goalkeeper isn't it?
15:39I mean it's not a difficult one but just very commanding.
15:48You know that he's going to come and collect and alleviate any pressure.
15:53But Hibs just slowly beginning to build into the second half here.
16:01Just inviting some pressure here.
16:03That pass from Butlin out to Magoma.
16:05Not the angle he was looking for.
16:07They are going to play their way out though.
16:10Tamanier to Moore.
16:12You can hear the frustration amongst the crowd.
16:17Very different though.
16:22The score line wasn't quite as comfortable as this for Rangers.
16:27Well there's a lot of running going on there from Hibs to try and shut down and close but unfortunately for them they've got too many bodies in the back line against too few Rangers players when there's that passage of play deeper and just too easy for Rangers to pick them off.
16:46Suter.
16:47Wonderful lofted ball out to JD Gassam who cuts in then out then back in.
16:53Gassam.
16:54Oh they look for the back heel to Jadon Magoma.
16:59He's not quite coming off from the Frenchman.
17:04Barry but again I know it to a first touch from Hibs number nine.
17:10Hasn't been his day just yet.
17:12Not good at all but I'll be honest I'm all for wrapping balls in at the front men but I don't think there was any desperate need for a beater to have that with just as much pace as that.
17:24The strikers are going to stretch slightly for it.
17:27Just pass appreciation.
17:28It wasn't like he was having to you know get it past a tight press.
17:33There was plenty space to just get the momentum get the pace right to add a little bit of momentum and an injection of attacking intent but didn't need to hit it just as hard as that.
17:47Especially when you know the front man is going to be feeling a little bit unsure because he's not been taking the ball particularly well this afternoon.
17:59Jimmy McGrath on Niko Raskan.
18:03You can see there he catches him on the heel, he'll be a little bit tender and sore.
18:10Belgium back up, bouncing passes around.
18:13Malilla Diamonde.
18:17Cornelius out to Asgharu.
18:18Dropped into that left hand side.
18:22Ruskin.
18:23Kassam.
18:24Kasam.
18:25That went vocally headed inspirator.
18:26습니까?
18:27Musik?
18:30The F inde yarns.
18:31Off to relegrating the net.
18:32交ing the pass.
18:33The jump guy right here.
18:34Ddiamonde.
18:35This he ACCIDOは Vltd3N1.
18:37Encu 05 abge1 at 5.
18:38애バt.
18:39Kassam will have the move, on track by Mulligan, Barry to try and chase this down, Cornelius didn't get his first touch right but then fouls the Hibernian striker, trying to atone for his error.
18:59Bowie's done well there against the two defenders to win the free kick, so he anticipates where the ball's going to be breaking, gets his body in and uses that physicality pretty well.
19:17You can see Cornelius just pulling the shots of Kieran Bowie.
19:29Beat up, mascot look favourite to knock that one clear, come for McGrath and Tavernier, all the way over on the left hand side wins it back, now Kassam, away from Berlasser, Diamande and Moor and there's space for Rangers on this right hand side, Moor cutting in.
19:55You can hear a certain degree of frustration from the home support with Mikey Moor there, he spent a lot of the game just on the inside and Tavernier's played actually higher and wider than him, I just felt he's not really been able to, I said this earlier, just recognise how to get into the game and impact it.
20:15If you're going to be one of those creative types then you are the guys that have got to take that risk, have the ability to drop the shoulder and beat an opponent, eliminate them, drive at the heart of the defence, irrespective of whether you're out wide or in that little pocket on the inside channel and I just think he's not done enough of that.
20:34He's looking down at the two benches and David Gray and Craig Samson deep in conversation while Rangers are getting Connor Barron stripped and ready to come on, here goes Raskan who really has run the show.
20:53This is Moor, this is Moor, Tavernier, here goes Raskan up nicely for the strike.
21:02I guess Sam should be able to see that out for the corner and does, which I probably thought it would maybe take the touch off the winger but not so.
21:12Raskan again, talking about how players recognise and how they can hurt the opposition and he does it very well.
21:22He's not just sitting in the midfield, sees the space to drive him behind, offering for his teammates and all of a sudden they're in behind Hibbs and breaking on them again.
21:33He's absolutely spot on, he's been very good this afternoon.
21:40Tavernier, it's a good ball towards Suter.
21:44Will be another corner.
21:48Barry felt that one.
21:54Now for the out-swinger for Tavernier to deliver.
22:19It comes from the skipper, one at the front by McGrath and then attacked and knocked in, Mioski, but the flag goes up.
22:32He thought he had a double.
22:37Denied by the flag.
22:40That's quite clear.
22:47Good call from the referee.
22:49Good call from the referee.
22:53That has now been confirmed.
23:12So Rangers making the change and off is Mamadiamonde.
23:18Conor Maren to replace him.
23:27Hibbs were contemplating a change as well to bring Thibault Plige on, but that's on hold for now.
23:43I understand I think it will be a double change for Hibbs.
23:53Junior Hoylet will be coming on for the final quarter as well.
24:00Bowie's header picked up by Asgard.
24:05Down goes Tavernier, could be a yellow card for Miguel Chaiwa, and will be...
24:15I've got to say from this angle it's one of those challenges that you see so often, an attacking player going across and trying to make the block in the defender clearing it, and invariably the yellow card is reduced nowadays for that.
24:33Tavernier, Souter back to Tavernier, but that presents the opportunity for Chaiwa to step in.
24:53Barlasa.
24:54Barlasa.
24:55Barlasa.
24:56Bita.
24:57Barlasa again.
24:58Hanley.
24:59Rashiri, Bita.
25:00Kadant.
25:01Chaiwa makes the run beyond, and Baran, well he did well not to dive in there.
25:06Deals with the situation well.
25:07Yeah, he defended that really well, because we've seen Chaiwa's got a lot of athleticism, but the defensive now's Connor Baran there reading it pretty well.
25:23Attacking changes from David Gray is Jordan a beat up, and Jamie McGrath go off, Thibaut Cleejay and Junior Hoylet the two to come on.
25:36Looks like they're going to a back four with Nicky Carden left back, Mulligan over on the right.
25:41Hanley and Rocky Machiri as centre-halves.
25:42Barlasa.
25:43Barlasa.
25:44Barlasa.
25:45Baran important touch, Hoylet now, his first touch of the game, come on.
25:46Barlasa.
25:47Barlasa.
25:48Barlasa.
25:49Barlan important touch, Hoylet now, his first touch of the game, come on.
25:51He's going to a back four with Nicky Carden left back.
25:54He's going to a back four with Nicky Carden left back, Mulligan over on the right.
25:59Hanley and Rocky Machiri as centre-halves.
26:07Barlasa.
26:08Barlasa.
26:09Baran important touch, Hoylet now, his first touch of the game, could it be vital?
26:14Cleejay.
26:15And the strike from Bowie, well perhaps did it just come too early for Hoylet and Cleejay.
26:23They just never got out, their feet set properly.
26:27Again, gaping holes in the defence from Rangers, but just here when it gets flicked back, caught
26:35under his feet slightly.
26:37And then eventually when it gets laid off for Bowie, he's not able to get it past the defenders
26:42and trouble the goalkeeper.
26:45That's another really good opportunity for Hibbs.
26:48He's created plenty.
26:50Carden's ball in, Bashiri.
26:53He's only went for it.
26:56Mulligan.
27:01Cannon again, plenty on that, probably too much and Butlan with safe hands.
27:08That's a sore one for the goalkeeper.
27:14Jan Butlan has so much height on it and you can see there just the elbow of Rocky Machiri.
27:22Just on the small of Jan Butlan's back, just meant that he'd lost his balance in the air.
27:32He came clattering down.
27:37But you know, Russell Martin would be delighted that they're sitting 2-0 up.
27:46The performance has been okay.
27:48But for David Gray and Hibbs, they'll be coming away from this thinking, what could have been really?
27:56Because they know that had they been able to take the lead, we spoke about the first goal being so important in this game,
28:02that the pressure would have mounted on Rangers big time.
28:05But they've been, they've been wasteful, Hibbs.
28:07They've not been clinical enough.
28:09And ultimately Rangers deserve to be in front.
28:13Misjudged by Mulligan.
28:15Kassam.
28:16Moore.
28:17Moore strike!
28:18Fizz is wide.
28:19So close to his first Rangers goal.
28:24I thought it was in.
28:25I thought it was in.
28:26Gets it out of his feet, strikes it really nicely but, we'll see from this angle.
28:36Oh it's close isn't it?
28:38Perhaps the goalkeeper has it covered.
28:41Suter knocks it down for Barron.
28:55Rucks got Tavernier.
28:58Miofsky.
29:00He's there for Chaiwa though.
29:02Do you think Russell Martin has seen enough to suggest that this evening could be a turning point for a side?
29:19I certainly hope so.
29:21I mean I think defensively they've given away too many opportunities to the opposition and on another day they could get punished.
29:33And then with a fragility that is clearly surrounding the team at the moment.
29:39If that was to happen then there's a different result.
29:42But there are aspects of the game that have been better tonight, there's no doubt about that.
29:47Cadden they won't catch it though.
29:50In front of just over 34,500 inside Ibrox Stadium.
29:55So a long way short of a full house.
29:59Other than the away end that's packed out.
30:042,600 of them have not had a lot to cheer about since their celebrations were cut short.
30:11Martin Boyle's opener was chocked off.
30:16I mean the thing for Russell Martin is that it's small steps.
30:21You just look at the man in the opposite dugout.
30:25When they had to tum things around at the start of last season after a horror start.
30:31And then the drubbing in Dundee.
30:35It was small steps.
30:36It wasn't great performances but they had to show that dig and desire.
30:40And they did that against Aberdeen in the next game.
30:42It helps that they managed to draw 3-3.
30:45So Russell Martin will be hoping that yes this is the start of things.
30:50But he'll know that there are aspects of the game that have got to improve.
30:56That will of course come on under scrutiny on Thursday night as well.
31:02The start of Rangers Europa League campaign here against Genk.
31:06So Keenan Murray's got to take a touch there.
31:10You know he's been very wasteful with this distribution.
31:22Muir.
31:27Sam.
31:28Muir goes for the return.
31:30It's taken his eye off it.
31:32It's taken his eye off it.
31:48Well that will be the final touch for Mikey Muir.
31:51Oliver Antman.
31:52Finn will be replacing him.
31:58It will in fact be a double change because the record, or this season's record signing.
32:00Yusuf Cermiti, 10 million from Everton, will be replacing Bojan Miofsky who has opened his account.
32:25APPLAUSE
32:26They're going to be matching.
32:28We've got 23.
32:31It will be her.
32:32They're going to be the final match against Jermiti.
32:33We've got 23 minutes against Hawks, Cermiti.
32:3823 minutes against Harkes, Chermiti, Portuguese on for his second appearance.
32:57A big turn from Raskan, lovely touch from Chermiti and Kassam loses out at the end.
33:14Boyle held back and Barron is booked.
33:27Let's go away!
33:37Let's go away!
33:43Let's go away!
33:47Hanley to launch on Klitsche on the chase, but he's losing battle.
34:10Yeah, he's quit Klitsche, but never really had a chance of being able to get on that.
34:17This is the first in a run of four games away from home for Libs, next up Tuesday against
34:28Falkirk, then away to Celtic, and a derby at Tynecastle to come for them, and a few league
34:39points slip at home of late, which will be a frustration.
34:42Three draws in a row, it's the road in the Premiership.
34:52Yeah, it looks like they're about to exit the Premier Sports Cup as well.
34:56Still just feels like they're trying to find the rhythm this season, some of the European
35:05performances were outstanding, but ultimately just following it ever so short in the quest
35:15to get into the group stage.
35:20Souter pings one out to Antmann.
35:23He looks early as well for Cermiti.
35:26Gassam coming in at the back post, and Mulligan has to concede the corner.
35:29That's a good early ball, isn't it, from Antmann.
35:35Wonderful cross field pass from John Souter.
35:38Gets out his feet and puts it into a really dangerous area, ultimately just too far in front
35:43of Cermiti, but he's asking the defenders the question again.
35:46They've got to do something, they can't just watch it drift away.
35:49Taman here.
36:11Ashiri managed to get that away, this is Hoylet.
36:14Bury up the line, and the chase on for Kleeje.
36:21Magoma across, and does get enough on it back to Butland.
36:27He sweeps up well there, Magoma.
36:37Baron for Raska.
36:39He's playing their way out.
36:42Good strength.
36:42They're being held.
36:43Good strength from Raska.
36:48There's been a lot made of it, obviously.
36:51You know, characters and being difficult.
36:56Nico Raska is a winner.
36:58And that's the sort of player you want in your team.
37:01He's a competitor.
37:03And obviously you heard Jack talking about it beforehand.
37:05You've got to get those guys on-site.
37:09That's the job of the head coach.
37:11Because his influence on the team can be so positive.
37:16So Chris Cannon is on for Miguel Chayua, and off goes Martin Boyle, Rudy Milotnikov.
37:24He comes on for him.
37:26And then he plays off, and yes, he comes on for him.
37:34He's playing.
37:34He's playing.
37:35He's playing.
37:36He's playing.
37:36Shemiti loses control by Lasser,
37:48just for Milotnikov, caden outside him, first touch for him.
37:56Now in it comes, Kleejee with the header, never really troubling Butland.
38:02Milotnikov I think was just behind him.
38:06As you can see he's wrestling there with Asghar 35 and he's just in behind.
38:12Kleejee to be honest, I think he would have been a little bit behind as well.
38:17Difficult to get the power and generate it towards goal.
38:25He's just grown confidence and his performance has got better and better.
38:32Nikoma, led by Chris Cadden.
38:41Milotnikov is sliding in as Cornelius.
38:44Milotnikov has got a big cheer as the sponsor's player of the match is coming to Nikko Raskan.
39:02There's another incident, I'm very surprised at how scrappy Kieran Bowie's overall game.
39:11Paul's coming into him, he's got the space, just not able to get the ball under control on the edge of the box there.
39:16Passher.
39:22So, Rossherry.
39:26Boshiri, Salinger, Cornelius gets there ahead of Bowery.
39:44Bowery runs it back from Magoma, Tui-Jay.
39:51Bowery again, couldn't get the shot away, Asghar with the challenge, shoulder-to-shoulder, that's given.
40:00Straight back to Barlasa, who pulls back Brasca.
40:06And the ball was rolling, to Rangers frustration.
40:21There's Ant-Man, Barron.
40:30Now looks over the top for Cermiti.
40:36Hanley in charge, but it will be a corner kick.
40:48Michael, just quickly, who is your Premier Sports man of the match?
41:00I think it's quite clear, isn't it, that man in your pictures, Niko Raskan.
41:07He's outstanding, he's all-round play.
41:10He managed to get the first goal as well, which was hugely important in this game.
41:15Coming back into the side and making a big statement, Niko Raskan.
41:20He's my man of the match, Rory.
41:22He is in the box.
41:23Sam, where will it break?
41:24It's for Hibs and Mulligan, and then Molotnikov has got a long way to go.
41:29Tavernier chasing him.
41:45Does well to hold it up for Mulligan.
41:50Molotnikov again.
41:52Messes out both Cadden and Cleejay.
41:57Coilet.
41:58Cadden in low.
42:00Hibs go from one end to the other.
42:07They've got into dangerous areas, Hibs, but they've not been able to capitalise,
42:12and ultimately they've only got themselves to blame that they've not been able to continue into the next round.
42:20Jadie Ghassam is the first to be replaced by Finlay Curtis.
42:27And Miriam Bairami will take the place of the man of the match, Niko Raskan.
42:36A standing ovation for the Belgian midfielder on his return.
42:41And I just wonder if he felt he wanted to make a statement this evening.
42:48His behaviour, his character may be questioned by his manager.
42:54100%.
42:55Make no mistake about it.
42:57That's what was going on.
42:59Of course he wants to make a statement.
43:01Of course he wants to show what he's capable of.
43:04You've got to go out on the park and you've got to put in the performances.
43:09But he would have been concerned that he wasn't going to be getting those chances.
43:13Fortunately for him and Russell Martin, it looks as if he's backing the fold.
43:19Well he certainly is backing the fold.
43:20And he put in a very very good performance there.
43:23But that should have been recognised early doors.
43:26You need to get Niko Raskan onside.
43:28He's a leader.
43:29He's a winner.
43:30And he's the sort of player you need to build a successful team around.
43:34Here's Baron, Ciamiti, could this round it off perfectly for Rangers?
43:40Yusuf Ciamiti!
43:41Good save from Salinger.
43:44Hibs hanging on by a thread but...
43:47They need something very special in the final.
43:51Well it's two minutes of normal time,
43:53we understand there are to be three additional minutes beyond that.
44:08Of course Hanley wins a cheap free kick.
44:17Good save.
44:18Down low, he gets his boot on it.
44:22It's done well.
44:24Raphael Salinger.
44:25Obviously it's a big talking point for Hibs in terms of the goalkeeping position.
44:31But the Austrians coming in done well.
44:38They start the other Premier Sports Cup game with Livingston.
44:43It'll be interesting to see what happens for Tuesday night at Falkirk.
44:46That's an important one for Hibs.
44:48They need to try and get things back on track.
44:50As you mentioned before, they've dropped too many points at home.
44:53Dropped too many points that they felt they should have on the board in the league.
44:59They've gone out in the Premier Sports Cup now.
45:01They need to start to get the league campaign up and running.
45:04Obviously they've got that game on Tuesday night against Falkirk.
45:07They've got...
45:08They've got...
45:09Where Ramy finds Anman.
45:10They go now out to Curtis.
45:11Asgard back to Cornelius.
45:12The board is about to go up.
45:13I believe it's been increased to four minutes.
45:14I believe it's been increased to four minutes.
45:18The board is about to go up.
45:19I believe it's been increased to four minutes.
45:20And the board is about to go up.
45:23I believe it's been increased to four minutes.
45:25Hansgaard back to Cornelius, the board is about to go up,
45:39I believe it's been increased to four minutes.
45:46It's Avenir, Barron, confirmation of the four additional minutes, led in by Ramy.
45:59Antman, by Ramy against Bashiri, won by the big defender, only clear as far as Barron.
46:15I wonder, do you think Russell Martin will, certainly for the next game, settle on the 11 that he went with today?
46:22Do you expect too many changes for the Europa League game?
46:27No, I would be surprised if there were too many changes, perhaps on this right-hand side.
46:32Antman weaving his way through, look!
46:45.
47:04O Ibernian começou por ser claramente uma estratégia de ataque rápido, claramente, dar a bola ao Rangers e aproveitar este momento de instabilidade, de insucesso mesmo da equipa do Rangers para tentar ferir a equipa de Glasgow em velocidade.
47:32Esta foi a intenção do Ibernian, acabou por não conseguir marcar primeiro e durante a transmissão disse que isso era facto, era um facto importante para a equipa do Ibernian levar de vencido a Rangers, marcar primeiro,
47:51porque a partir daí o sentimento que isso poderia trazer aos jogadores, a partir dos próprios, ouvindo da bancada para o Real Vado, seria muito importante para o Ibernian se manter por cima durante o jogo.
48:10Não foi possível, porque no golo do Martin Boyle, à mão, há um domínio com o braço por parte do capitão do Ibernian, por isso mesmo o golo foi invalidado.
48:21O Rangers, num lance de bola parada, acaba por desbloquear, ganha confiança, ainda antes do intervalo, já no período de compensação, marca o segundo golo na segunda parte.
48:31Acaba sempre por estar o Rangers mais perto do 3-0, principalmente no remato de Schermitt e também o lance do Antman,
48:42agora em lances mais próximos, um remato da Barra de Gassama, portanto são muitos os lances em que o Rangers está próximo do 3-0 durante esta segunda parte.
48:53Não o conseguiu, fica por 2-0, consegue o objetivo principal, segue para as meias finais desta Taça de Liga.
49:02O Ibernian fica então pelo caminho e soma, desta forma, 5 jogos consecutivos sem ganhar.
49:12O Rangers regressa às vitórias, olha agora para a Liga Europa antes do regresso ao campeonato,
49:19onde vai procurar a sua primeira vitória da época para o campeonato.
49:26O árbitro olha para o relógio e está a pito final Raskin, o homem do jogo.
49:32Inaugurou o marcador ao minuto 42, Miofsky, aos 45, mais 2, acaba por confirmar a vitória do Rangers por 2-0.
49:42Um resultado que acaba pela segunda parte por ser magro para esta equipa do Rangers, mas suficiente.
49:50Foi um gosto de estar no seu campeonato.
