Match Thread Hibernian v Rangers - 19:45 Wednesday - RangersTV

[Gauche.]

Well played the glorious Ibrox Teddy Bears.

 

[HIHI]

Yilmaz marking Peter Crouch there FFS!

Saw that!
Not a smart defensive move!

 

[BlueRidgeBear]

Very pleased with that second half.

Sterling starts over Raskin for me, he was superb from the moment he came on.

Team started playing with more and more confidence as the game went on and Hibs couldn’t have many complaints if it was 5 or 6.

Shout out to Lundstrum who was excellent again.

 

[DAS77Ibrox]

Well done The Famous. Tav, Ridvan were excellent. Dujon very good sub and big John controlled it so well. Deserving MotM. Goodnight Bears!

 

[I'm So Bored With The MSM]

Controlled the game far better in the second half. Dessers goal was pure cheek I loved it.

3 points and doon the road.

 

[GodStruth]

Injury ravaged. Still efficient and easy in the end. Big Phil knows what he's doing

 

[No.8MK2]

Stop looking for conspiracies everywhere. It was tight but it was offside.

I thought the ruling was if the lines are touching it’s on?

It certainly looked on at first replay

 

[DavieM]

2nd goal killed that game. 2nd half we could and should have scored more than 1 but on we jog to the next game having taken very little out of ourselves.

 

[Carson's Cat]

Unlucky Dessinho.

Remarkable! But funny AF!

 

[Davester]

Lundstram Motm for me. Notable shift from Yilmaz, Super Jack, Sterling.
Cheeky finish from Dessers to round off a good night.

 

[insanicdrunk]

Sorry for the play buttons!

Offside lines

Without lines

 

[JayDeeMac]

Lundstram, Ridvan and Sterling the stars for me.

Agree with that but I'd also throw in Tav who I thought had one of his best games for a while

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Another clever goal for Dessers good away win.

 

[FollowRangers]

Good win. Well done Rangers.

 

[JC85]

Lovely job. Well done the Famous. On to Saturday.

 

[TheHistorian]

Good to finally get the game in hand points safely in the bag and close the gap a bit.

 

[steve1873]

Great result. Pretty controlled performance for most of the 90.

 

[blue genes]

Sterling on for raskin instead of Jack! Surely Jack can do 45 mins so does he trust Sterling more ?

Once again, Sterling was majestic, keep in the midfield, he’s undroppable.

If he’s still with us next season I will be delighted.

 

[skorn]

As others have mentioned, three great goals.
And it has to be said, the one from Dessers was pure class !

Possibly due a penalty ?
Certainly, the disallowed goal is quite absurd -- VAR lines "drawn" again to suit the desire to not give us anything from it.

Some good performances, but a major one I took from this was that Sterling is a far far better central midfielder than Raskin.
Oh, and that Butland is a super goalie !!

 

[L/COLNEYBEAR]

Comfortable win only one team deserved to win that, loved Dessers goal,well done Rangers.

 

[Miko's Warm Up]

Wonderful. A statement win.

Great tactics. Great effort. Great goals.

A few player and team doubters and tim lurkers back in their box tonight. Get it right round ye.

Onwards and upwards.

 

[mummymonkey]

Good away performance. Lundstram, Yilmaz and Butland were terrific. Sterling had a great 2nd half too,

 

[Del]

Time to get off big Dessers back. Sticking the ball in the net regularly. Imagine he had more confidence the numbers "should" and could be significant.

He has a knack of being in decent positions.

 

[jomacbe]

Good 3 points to the famous.

 

[104Bear]

Never in doubt

 

[billybluehat]

Great performance from several players. Lundstram the stand out for me but Yilmaz was good. Sterling was an absolute menace second half.

Sterling has a serious future ahead at our club.

 

[Electric Kite]

One or two hairy moments, but overall a good night's work.

 

[BlueHaze]

3 points away to the Hivs happy days.

 

[warfieldranger]

Good away win.

The VAR team got a bit creative with their lines at Lawrence’s goal.

 

[BSPECIAL]

Three goal. Three points and another dodgy VAR line drawing by a clown with a crayon.

 

[JW1988]

Lunny strolled it.
We strolled it tbh never came out of 2nd gear. Bar one save by Butland Hibs were useless.

Dessers in an enigma. Honestly the one he scored was ridiculous and then one on one he shites it. He’s in his own head too much.

 

[Geo1977]

That was very enjoyable to watch, we played well and scored some cracking goals. For me I think Raskin has to win his place back, there is a different energy when Sterling plays there and he deserves to start.

 

[EC54]

He is but Lundstrum in this second half is poor.

Wow you have had a shocker there
He has been superb if you can't see that you should worry!

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Sterling offers more in midfield than Raskin and Lundstram improved when Raskin went off.

 

[Cyberniv]

Solid for the most part, bit careless at times, will take 3-0 win at Easter Road any day of the week.
Won well within ourselves, great 3 points.

 

[HotToddy]

Looked onside to me, also denied stone wall penalty.

 

[Jman2626]

Great result tonight, now get the other three points in the bag and put the pressure on them

 

[The Doctor]

That'll do!

Nae bother Stevie boy

 

[ronadamus_prime]

Absolutely piss easy game in the end. On another day, that is a 6-0 doing Hibs are on the end of. If we are a bit more clinical in front of goal and a few of those final balls come off for us. Hibs have somehow got worse since we last played them.

Will say this about Clement, he absolutely gets a shift out of the subs. Every single sub that came on contributed to the game in some way. All round great performance.

Butland, Ridvan and Lunny were the standouts for me. Shout out to Dessers too, keep it up big man!

 

[Jonathan E]

Whatever PC is doing, we are getting much better results with a much poorer group of players than the last three seasons.

 

[Kentbear]

Pleasantly surprised by the ease of that victory in the end, big up for our goalie though for setting us off on the right track.
Lots of good displays in our team there, Yilmaz right up there and to get rid would imo be mental as he is improving by the game.

At the far end of the screen, the lines actually meet they're that skewed.

Shout out to Lundstrum who was excellent again.

Sterling absolutely deserves that jersey beside Lundstram right now, that athleticism and desire in midfield goes a long way in some games in our league.

That and Raskin isn't ready to start, and you can't trust Jack's body to hold up either.

 

[GBY74]

Great 3 points from what can be a tough venue

 

[RoyalBlue]

Didn't get to watch tonight, how did we play?

Didn’t start too well. Lots of missed passes and looked a bit frantic. Slowly steadied the ship as the half wore on and began to make some decent chances.

Ridvan goal from a beautiful Lundstram pass changed everything. After that, one scary moment from a wide free kick that was headed just past our post aside, we totally dominated.

Complete control entire second half and could and should have scored more.

Lastly, two shocking no penalty, no VAR review, decisions against us yet again. The old 19th Century Terrorist press onslaught has definitely worked. Refs and VAR shit scared of giving us penalties

 

[Stefan Klos]

Get Saturday out the way then I will agree.

That and Rugby Park would be the two you’d worry about most.

But St Mirren seem to have gone off the boil a bit. I don’t think they finish top 6 (annoyingly Aberdeen probsbly will and we’ll have to go up there again post split)

I think we’ll win by a few on Saturday

 

[dublinbluenose]

Excellent performance

Is he not level with the ball there so can't be off?

Agree. I think we have more balance with Sterling. He just glides and looks like he has class.
Raskin gives the ball away far too much for me.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Dessers' finish gets better with every replay.
