Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Ibrox Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Rangers FC and Hibernian FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 15' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 20' Borna Barisic, a Croatia , has 39 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 25' 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 Allan McGregor suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Rangers FC and Hibernian FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 33' Ianis Hagi doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 38' Over 38 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 41' A moment of madness from Alexandros Gogic on 41 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Hibernian FC will be frustrated.
  • 46' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jack Ross might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 51' The home supporters are growing impatient. Rangers FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 56' Scotland international James Gullan has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 61' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 66' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rangers FC that had 403 games and scored 786 goals.
  • 71' Hibernian FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 76' Another substitution for Rangers FC to replace Ianis Hagi by Scott Arfield on 76 minute.
  • 81' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 82' Fresh legs for Rangers FC! Bongani Zungu comes on to replace Scott Arfield.
  • 83' Time for substitution for Hibernian FC. Drey Wright is replaced by James Gullan.
  • 88' Rangers FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Hibernian FC's shape.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Rangers FC to claim maximum points.
