Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Rangers FC to score. At the same time, Hibernian FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' GOAL! Martin Boyle scores on 5. Assisted by Chris Gunter
- 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' Rangers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' Rangers FC looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 3 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 25' 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.
- 30' 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.
- 35' The travelling Hibernian FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 39' It’s a booking for Hibernian FC player. Warren O'Hora gets a card.
- 41' What a strike from Thelo Aasgaard! The score is 1-1.
- 46' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Oliver Antman made 6 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 51' Youssef Chermiti has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 46 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 52' That looks like a foul for a card for Connor Barron.
- 57' Hibernian FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 57.
- 62' 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 Emmanuel Fernandez suffering a number of foals already.
- 67' Hibernian FC is showing some good football. However, Hibernian FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 72' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 74' That looks like a foul for a card for Jordan Obita.
- 79' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 84' It looks like no one’s ball. Rangers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 86' Nasser Djiga is having his name booked by the referee on 86.
- 89' GOAL! Dane Scarlett scores on 89.
- 90' GOAL! Dane Scarlett scores on 90.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
