Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Hibernian FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dillon Barnes made 7 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Hibernian FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Rangers FC and Hibernian FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 20' Steven Davis, a Northern Ireland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 25' Allan McGregor has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 33' Brilliant from the ! Ianis Hagi makes it 1-0 with a superb finish on 33.
  • 38' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Rangers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 41' The referee calls foul for Alexandros Gogic. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 46' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 56' 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 Joe Newell suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' Over 61 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 66' It’s high time Jack Ross made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 71' Ryan Porteous has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 63 cards already picked up this season.
  • 76' A change in the Rangers FC ranks — Ianis Hagi exits the field as Scott Arfield enters on 76.
  • 81' Hibernian FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 82' Rangers FC ring the changes. Scott Arfield has done his job and it is now time for Bongani Zungu to step up.
  • 83' Hibernian FC make a change. Drey Wright trudges off to be replaced by James Gullan on 83 minutes.
  • 88' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • With this win, Rangers FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
