The Rangers 2 v Hibs 0

[SteveHFC]

Team News:

Skipper Lee McCulloch returns to the Rangers squad for Wednesday's Scottish Premiership play-off semi-final first leg with Hibernian at Ibrox.
The 37-year-old has missed the last two matches with a training-ground knock but has trained this week.
Seb Faure (knee), Kevin Mbabu (fitness issues), Gael Bigirimana (infection) and Shane Ferguson (knee) remain out.
The Hibs squad has returned feeling fresh from a training break in the Spanish resort of La Manga.

Weather News:
Some brightness at first inland, then cloud thickening from the west during the evening and night, bringing some patchy light rain, mainly to Argyll. Winds west or southwest occasionally freshening.

Let's get behind the team tonight. 2-0 Hibs:flag:

4-4-2 tonight

Don't claim to be a football formation expert, but at Easter Road did they not beat by playing 3-5-2, with Wallace and McGregor (think that was his name) causing havoc, whilst we stuck with 4-4-2 ?

[Mr White]

Still a risk of poor decisions but the best we could have hoped for through there imo.

[TheGreenMan]

Both look like 4-4-2, should be an open game

:gwa:

[JJP]

Need a strong ref tonight. Ref is Calum Murray, Thoughts?

I've always thought he is the best in Scotland...despite being reportedly a Jambo.

[Smartie]

No sign of Watson?

We're short at CB without anyone else on the bench.

I'm a bit concerned about the idea of the diamond tonight - they outflanked us when we played this way the last time.

I've not seen their team but if they go 352 we might be in a bit of trouble.

They go 442 - we pump them.

[Elephant Stone]

We've been strongest against them when Gray and Stevenson were able to attack, hopefully they can still do this tonight.

[JJP]

Nothing will be decided tonight but I am absolutely buzzing for this game.

[Steve20]

Rangers: Bell, Foster, McGregor, Zaliukas, Wallace; Vuckic, Murdoch, Shiels, Law; Miller, Clark

That's actually not a bad line up. We will need to be at the top of our game.

[TheGreenMan]

Don't claim to be a football formation expert, but at Easter Road did they not beat by playing 3-5-2, with Wallace and McGregor (think that was his name) causing havoc, whilst we stuck with 4-4-2 ?

Yip our diamond narrow midfield was our downfall that day against 5 Huns in the middle for them with spare wide men. That plus we had Dom and DjeDje standing watching high balls punted to them and them not trying a leg to shut down their hopeless back 3.

Huns playing 4-4-2 tonight by the looks of it though, thought they'd have stuck with 3-5-2

[Brightside]

If McCall has gone 352 we'll be in bother... if it matches our 442..we'll win.

[GreenCastle]

McCall said on news - same sevco team as weekend and not playing 3-5-2. Will he be bluffing ?

Last time they played 3-5-2 they did it well against us. Will be interesting if both play 4-4-2 how it matches up. 3-5-2 seemed to have had us playing well before end of the season.

[murray26]

We've no defenders on the bench.. Better hope none of the back four get injured..

Cool - that wasn't up when I posted :thumbsup:

[Nando™]

Are we so sure we're going 4-4-2? Could easily be a 3-5-2 with Robbo and Lewis/Craig as the wingbacks.

[Smartie]

Their fans hate it when they play 442.

I'm a bit happier now I've seen their team.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Feeling a bit nervous but not afraid of this Rangers team. Hopefully no ridiculous decisions from the ref.

[Brightside]

eh??

[PhoenixHibee]

Why is the first leg at Ibrox?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Why is the first leg at Ibrox?

Because we finished above them, meaning home advantage for the second leg.

[Mr White]

Why is the first leg at Ibrox?

Highest placed team gets 2nd leg at home. In the event of extra time and pens it's seen as an advantage. Didn't really work for us last year of course...

[col02]

I have a feeling we might see Hibs line up 4-2-3-1. Usual back line with Robbo and Fyvie deep midfield. Craig left, Allan right and Malonga playing just behind Cummings. Wallace while being Rangers best player is a weak link defensively imho with him being caught upfield too often.

[Aldo]

MacGregor and Sally to be got at in that line up IMHO.

For me our MF are very important tonite. Need to stay strong and disciplined.

Bit surprised Dylan didnt come back in....still, cant argue I guess as Craigs played well since coming into the team

whoever is on the right hand side of midfield needs to be sharp against Wallace

got the makings of a decent game - we need to be spot on here

Aaaaggggghhhhh my BT Sport has decided to act up, cant get any reception what-so-ever. Relying on the updates lads [and lassies] - keep 'em coming please.

[Brightside]

Yep and that worries me...Great player but can't live with the pace of Wallace. I;d suggest we go in hard on Wallace early in the game.

Quite a few big gaps

[Aldo]

Bit nervous... No bricking it but started well.

Boy do I hate that bunch of bigoted ****ers.

Ref listening to the crowd there.

Good start

[Onceinawhile]

Miller chucking himself to the ground already

[Onceinawhile]

Callum Murray going with the "If the Rangers fans want it, it's a free kick" technique.

[Aldo]

Doms started well.

[HH81]

Hibs started well, kept ball decent and passed it about.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Callum Murray going with the "If the Rangers fans want it, it's a free kick" technique.

I'm watching him like a hawk.

Stuff getting chucked at oxley there

Poor cross from Gray.

[cabbageandribs1875]

poor poor cross from gray

[HH81]

poor poor cross from gray

Very poor from such a good postion and so much time.

[Ryan91]

Wallace already falling down

[Hibernia&Alba]

Huns are in hit and hope mode already, which augers well for us. We're a better footballing team.

[Aldo]

What about advantage ref. That's twice from Shiels surely next one is a booking??

[Onceinawhile]

Ref does well to stop JC being clean through by awarding a free kick to us 20 yards from our goals.

How many fouls is sheils getting away with>

[Jdawg]

Allan with world cup willy passed again when he has 2 or 3 in space. Trying a ball between 2 players when it was never on. Simple ball please

[Gatecrasher]

No booking for deliberate handball?

[Billychaotic182]

Allan with world cup willy passed again when he has 2 or 3 in space. Trying a ball between 2 players when it was never on. Simple ball please

He knows what he's doing. His assists speak for itself

[Matty_Jack04]

Don't get much more deliberate a handball than that! Started well the Hun masses will be loosing their voices soon enough

[Onceinawhile]

Liam Craig a yard over the top from 25 yards again.

[heretoday]

Great tackle Lewis.

[Onceinawhile]

Don't get much more deliberate a handball than that! Started well the Hun masses will be loosing their voices soon enough

Ridiculous isn't it.

Foster through the back of JC, nothing, but a free kick.

[Hibs90]

Can someone please provide descriptive updates for us idiots who forgot to book the day off work and are now stuck here, cheers. :greengrin

[cabbageandribs1875]

the filth tossing things on the park... the SFA wont see that though

[Matty_Jack04]

Ridiculous isn't it.

Foster through the back of JC, nothing, but a free kick.

Thought JC was cute with that to be honest

[DBHibs]

More stuff being thrown at Oxley by the mutants behind the goal. Fuds!

[Jdawg]

He knows what he's doing. His assists speak for itself

Obviously not at that moment as he gave it away, he gave it away again. Not every pass has to be spectacular, especially when we have possession. That decision making, and I stress only at times as he's been brilliant this season, is why he is at hibs. Thank God though.

[JennaFletcher]

King Fontaine a rock as ever :-)

[Matty_Jack04]

Can someone please provide descriptive updates for us idiots who forgot to book the day off work and are now stuck here, cheers. :greengrin

Got to be the fastest 5 hibs goals I've ever seen

[GreenCastle]

As expected a tight first 20 mins.

We look the better footballing side but been a little sloppy with the ball.

Rangers playing on break and quite direct.

Craig has had 2 long range shots but just over.

If we up our quality and we will create more here.

[SkintHibby]

Too much space for Wallacae there.

[Gatecrasher]

The refs doing their bit I see.

[Aldo]

**** off you cheating ******* Wallace. Not even touched and threw himself down. Once again very delayed whistle.

Shocking again.

[Hibs Class]

Good move, plenty of pace

[cabbageandribs1875]

good counter attack from us....corner

[Forever_Green93]

Good counter attack by hibs.

[GreenCastle]

Scott Allen is just a joy to watch.

Malonga started well and back 4 look solid also so far..

[Cropley10]

Who's the mason in the black please?

Scott Allan with a 70 odd yard run. Corner hibs. Comes to nothing.

[HiBremian]

Corner for Hibs

Bad miss there by Jason

[hibee_girl]

Arrrrgggg Cummings!!

[GreenCastle]

1st shot on goal from them..outside box and low straight to the Ox.

Should have scored - Malonga to JC but missed ball!

[muzzando]

Gray has got to deal with Wallace better

Lots of help from fyvie so far

[DBHibs]

Defence certainly standing up well to the Hun attacks so far.

[Gatecrasher]

I thought he was a cert to score there.

[Matty_Jack04]

What a chance! Thought zal was gonna bring big Dom down there when he slipped

[johnbc70]

We have to take chances like that!!!!

[GreenCastle]

They are really poor at the back..surely we can score at least 1 tonight !

[Onceinawhile]

Game being played at 100mph.

[JennaFletcher]

Good built up play by Hibs but can't finish off any chances so far.

[SkintHibby]

Lee Wallace is getting far too much frickin space down his left flank!!!!

[JeMeSouviens]

These New Huns are pish! C'mon Hibs.

[patlowe]

That's the kind of back post tap in JC has lapped up all season. Frustrating!

[Hibernia&Alba]

Should be ahead. Not to worry, we know we can open them up; keep it going.

[Aldo]

Dom is well up for this the Nite.

[Onceinawhile]

Big Dom bullying the rangers defence.

[Matty_Jack04]

Game being played at 100mph.

We'll see the advantage of 2nd place soon enough if this continues

[Aldo]

Should be ahead. Not to worry, we know we can open them up; keep it going.

We can but we MUST take our chances. They will.

[heretoday]

Rangers are nervous at the back. We have to score at least one!

[Onceinawhile]

We can step up from here. I don't think RFC can.

They'll struggle second half as well. We should win this.

[patlowe]

Clearly the better team but we've seen all season that you have to take chances or you get punished. Plenty time left though. Great to see Malonga so up for it, he's a joy when on it.

[Aldo]

Rangers are nervous at the back. We have to score at least one!

The wee FUD chucking the paper needs to grow up and chucked out!

[Matty_Jack04]

Deano immune to a yellow?

[Onceinawhile]

Another foul by shiels.

[hibee_girl]

Robertson booked.

[cabbageandribs1875]

****** ridiculous from the referee

[Keith_M]

That was a blatant dive by the Hun

[Onceinawhile]

Robertson 2 fouls - yellow card:

Shiels 3 fouls - none...

[Gatecrasher]

The refs wearing a Rangers top tonight.

[Hibs Class]

Hun dissent = no action. Hibs dissent = booking.

[Forever_Green93]

Yellow?! Away and get yersel to **** ref

[Hibernia&Alba]

Robertson booked.

I thought he'd forgotten his cards , until he got chance to book a Hibs player.........

[hibIBZ]

Stubbs should take them off the pitch.... The cheating is only going to get worse

[Jdawg]

Malonga is putting a shift in, showing good strength and first touch

[Aldo]

Shocking decision btw. Clear foul on Robertson yet he gets booked.

Well played Dom.

Ref that was ****ing shocking. No wonder players react. They will get away with it all game

[weecounty hibby]

And so it begins!!! Be prepared for some more howlers as the game goes on

[Ryan69]

The cheating was always expected!

What has happened to Malonga....He's everywhere!

[Callum_62]

its starting....

we're looking good

[Aldo]

By far the better team. At least we are trying to play. Yellow card coming??

[Keith_M]

Two forwards playing far too close together.

[SaulGoodman]

Wee bit of a dive there?

[Keith_M]

Missiles still being thrown onto the pitch from Rangers Fans, TV already identified the people involved, NO action by stewards and police

As stated a decent final ball or quality and we will score.

[cabbageandribs1875]

As as soon as one hits Oxley he needs to go down, get stretchered off, match abandoned and 3-0 lead for the second leg :greengrin

[cabbageandribs1875]

lol hanlon heads it over and we get a corner :)

[Onceinawhile]

3 corners in a row, good presuure,

[Keith_M]

Why is Allan mucking about at corners?

[GreenCastle]

Doubt a fan would get thrown out for throwing paper / paper aeroplanes.

We look dangerous from corners - when it's a good delivery.

[Matty_Jack04]

Wouldn't stoop to their level tbh!

Just playin aldo it's the nerves, I don't condone any copycat zombie behaviour

[heretoday]

Nice bit of gamesmanship by Allan there. Keep the defence waiting a bit more.

I saw that run from ****ing Grimsby!

[Onceinawhile]

Kris boyd is fourth official?

[Sylar]

Knew we were going to regret not doing anything with the various half chances eventually.

Great ball from Vuckik but Stevenson should have been tighter to Foster.

[liamh2202]

Foul on Roberton 30 seconds before ***in joke

[LaMotta]

Robertson gave the ball away....stevenson totally forgot about the wide man. Brutal.

[muzzando]

Huns will sit right back now

[SlickShoes]

What's Stevenson doing?

Horrific

[Sylar]

F. O. B.

Absolutely no need for that on here! :rolleyes:

[Hibernia&Alba]

Cruel. Totally against the run of play and a bad time to concede, right before half time. Let's not panic, we can easily get a goal against this team.

[Canongatehibs]

Unfortunately, the crowd have won over the guy in red.

[GreenCastle]

Vuckic has been causing us issues.

Key now is not to loose a 2nd.

[Matty_Jack04]

Getting no decisions from this ref a clear push on the rangers break there play on but gives the free kick once the attacks over on the hibs by line

[Nando™]

Denied a free kick in the build up to ANOTHER Hun goal.

The referee doing his job as is expected of him.

[3pm]

Robertson off, McGeouch on.

[Forever_Green93]

Horrible defending.

[liamh2202]

Get lost you tube

[Brightside]

tbf its a great goal from Rangers...but surely something has to be done about the constant throwing of missiles at Ox.

[Aldo]

oh dear 1-0 **** defence

Hibs player gets poleaxed yet it's play on and goal.

Yeah it might of been poor defending but that btw was a clear foul but nowt.

The HUNS are *****.

We played well barring the last 90 seconds. Still should of been a foul IMHO

[Onceinawhile]

Robertson gave the ball away....stevenson totally forgot about the wide man. Brutal.

He got absolutely flattened about two seconds earlier. Should have been a free kick. Absolute nonsense, but it was (I think) Vuckic who can do no wrong.

[AlbertK86]

Horrible defending.

Nah it was fantastic ball by Vuckic

[West hamBERNIAN]

Denied a free kick in the build up to ANOTHER Hun goal.

[Hibernia&Alba]

They got us with a sucker punch, but we mustn't feel sorry for ourselves.

[Callum_62]

terrible terrible defending for there goal

we have been decent - so disappointing to switch off right before HT though

Rangers have looked poor, and disjointed too - now the fans are rocking

awful time to lose a goal

also...Jasons miss....was that a total sitter (he missed the ball) or was it a poor ball across to him?

[Leithenhibby]

Huns will sit right back now

I'll take that :agree:

[ScottB]

Just had a sudden feeling that was coming at the end there.

Keep the head up, It's far, far, far from over.

[Hiber-nation]

I have no idea what the hell Lewis was doing at that goal. Aye Vukic is decent but no need to double up on him when there's a man overlapping. Very poor.

[Aldo]

Robertson gave the ball away....stevenson totally forgot about the wide man. Brutal.
Mid you mean poleaxed by Der Hun players then yip he lost the ball.

Just like their 2nd goal at ER.

Shocking decision by official again.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

TheRangers reminding everyone just what they're missing. And it ain't pretty.
On a positive note TheRangers support appear to have gone green - anything that can possibly be recycled has been donated by the generous fans onto the pitch.

[Onceinawhile]

Das Rangers are playing the best they can, we can still pick it up. Still fancy at least a draw out of this.

[essexhibee]

They are ****. Utter ****. Still can easily turn this around.

Mcgeough on for Robertson needed imo.

[Waxy]

Robertson off before so called ref sends him off.

[07BigD]

Keep calm people, a lot of football still to be played, I've got faith in them

They got us with a sucker punch, but we mustn't feel sorry for ourselves.

Is Jason Cumming actually playing!! Looks like he's still on the beach!

[Matty_Jack04]

Craig and Cummings swap for McGeough and Farid please...

Craigs had a good half I'd be more worried about Robbo now he's booked

[Steve20]

If we are to keep this tie alive for the return leg, then we might want to actually create some chances. They'll score again, so we need to.

[hibsbollah]

Dean Shiels has really turned into a nasty wee ****ing ****.

[Aldo]

Craig and Cummings swap for McGeough and Farid please...

Craig??? Puzzled at that. Robertson maybe but Craig has played well IMHO.

[hibbymick]

We are fine until we get 25 yards from goal then we get scrappy. Cant say ive seen very much from Cummings up front.

[archiebald]

Stevenson caught on the ball all night

[weecounty hibby]

Not watching on TV or listening to radio. Without any green tinted specs on, should we have had a free kick before they scored? Will be no surprise to me if so

[Scooter]

For me Fyvie for Dylan

[LeithSqualk]

Yes I thought a definite free kick before

[Matty_Jack04]

A free kick if it was the other way all day long

[Hibs90]

***** Defending. Playing into their hands.

[Stranraer]

Just had a sudden feeling that was coming at the end there.

Keep the head up, It's far, far, far from over.

:agree: early days, next goal is crucial but I think Cummings can get it

[Aldo]

Stevenson caught on the ball all night

Once?? We've passed and played well. But to say he's been caught all night is off the mark. Allan's been caught more than him.

[Thecat23]

Absolutely no need for that on here! :rolleyes:

Ok I'm going to ask.. What does that mean?

[hibsbollah]

Malonga has been good. Id stay with Cummings.

[Kavinho]

I have no idea what the hell Lewis was doing at that goal. Aye Vukic is decent but no need to double up on him when there's a man overlapping. Very poor.

If you're doubling up, 2 of you can't stand off him and allow the pass....

[Tyler Durden]

Craigs had a good half I'd be more worried about Robbo now he's booked

Agree re Robbo but Craig has been poor on the ball. Gives it away far too much

[Thecat23]

I thought we should yeah.

[Onion]

It's Hibs v the Ref in this one. He's been the main difference for the Huns. Sevco have been ****ing DREADFUL and are there for the taking !! The Huns look knackered but we've not been able to unlock their crappy defence. Some of our key players coming up short so far.

Still think the Huns are a poor, poor team and there for the taking. Only question is Hibs have the bottle to go and take it ?

[Thecat23]

Robbo off Dylan on!

[DH1875]

Can't believe we are losing this :(

[Kavinho]

Ok I'm going to ask.. What does that mean?

Yep over my head too

[Aldo]

Agree re Robbo but Craig has been poor on the ball. Gives it away far too much

Allan has given the ball away more than Craig??

[Stuarty27]

They are a poor poor side.

If we can't beat them we don't deserve to go up

[Nando™]

If we are to keep this tie alive for the return leg, then we might want to actually create some chances. They'll score again, so we need to.

You're right, they'll score again if they continue to get help from the referee.

[blackpoolhibs]

tbf its a great goal from Rangers...but surely something has to be done about the constant throwing of missiles at Ox.


A great goal my erse, Stevenson made a right balls up of that.

[carnoustiehibee]

Hanlon needs to be tighter to Clark

[Aldo]

Yep over my head too

Me three!
