Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Hibernian FC welcome Rangers FC for this crunch clash at Easter Road Stadium.
  • 2' A stunning finish from Cyriel Dessers — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 7' Connor Barron is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Rangers FC so far.
  • 10' Robin Propper gets the nod from Rangers FC. He replaces Leon Balogun and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 15' It’s high time David Gray made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 16' Kieron Bowie is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 1 goals this season for the forward.
  • 21' Hibernian FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Josh Campbell scoring 1 goals.
  • 26' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 30' The referee has no hesitation. Kieron Bowie is booked for Hibernian FC — card on 30.
  • 31' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mohammed Diomande on 31.
  • 36' It looks surprising Rangers FC does not make any changes. Rocky Bushiri has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 41' named a 3-4-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 46' Nicky Cadden has been relatively quiet despite scoring 16 goals in his last 251 appearances.
  • 50' What a moment for Nicolas Raskin! That strike on 50 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 54' Tom Lawrence is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mohammed Diomande at the 54 minute mark.
  • 57' Time for substitution for Hibernian FC. Kieron Bowie is replaced by Josh Campbell.
  • 60' Nathan Moriah-Welsh is having his name booked by the referee on 60.
  • 65' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for James Tavernier suffering a number of foals already.
  • 66' What an equalizer from Martin Boyle!
  • 68' It’s gonna be a card for Martin Boyle.
  • 73' John Souttar is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Rangers FC tonight.

  • 79' The supporters are chanting for Dylan Levitt. He replaces Nectarios Triantis on 79 minute.
  • 81' Another change for Rangers FC made on 81 minute. Vaclav Cerny leaves to be changed by Oscar Cortes.
  • 86' The 25-year-old Mohammed Diomande has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 90' The Hibernian FC manager makes a substitution. Jack Iredale departs to be replaced by Jordan Obita.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 2-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
