The Rangers v Hibernian

[Keepthefaith]

Actually thought gray set us up well, looked really solid and attacking subs on to go for it as the game wore on. Thought you an was poor when he came on, hopefully improve with games.

If we'd scored the pen, id have fancied us to win

[LunasBoots]

Encouraged by the performance that we are coming together as a team, Sevco are crap and will do well to finish second this season, seem to have downgraded on players, Triantis, Kwom and Hoilett look very very good.

[Tully]

What an opportunity to beat the Huns, make no bones about that was an massive opportunity missed, would have left Hoilett and kuan on as youhan weakened us and then missed kuans drive, there was promising signs that we are improving but once again we get zero points

[Lancs Harp]

A lot of encouraging signs today, ok we lost but I thought as a unit we played well, defended very well and created a few chances if half chances. Maybe an unnecessary substitution too many but Im not knocking SDG for that, his intentions were positive and its been a while since we were in a position at Ibrox to be going for it.

Well done lads a lot to take forward there for me.

Rangers sure arent catching Celtic anytime soon.

Up next weekend for the Motherwell game and very much looking forward to it.

[Tambo]

Can't fault the effort from Hibs today, and actually feeling a little disappointed, if Myko converts his pen then the second half might have been different, all over them that second half.

A poor spell in the game for Miller has cost us and I think SDG will be disappointed we never came away with anything.

Both CB'S and GK deserve a mention, especially Ekpiteta, who all have been under some criticism early on.

St Johnstone win was vital for SDG who probably would be under some pressure if we was still looking for our first win of the season after today's game, time to push on now with some winnable games and put in a good run for October.

[JohnM1875]

Better team for me. Definitely encouraging signs and already buzzing for the Motherwell game

[HIBS NUTS]

We now have a good squad, the defending was fantastic
the hibs goalie save was incredible

[cubehindthegoal]

Couldn’t have asked much more from Hibs today.

We played well, created chances and defended solidly. Miller let us down by diving and Myko let us down with his horrid penalty attempt. Aside from those two events, I thought we were excellent and deserved much more from that match.

Standouts for me: Hoilett (MOTM), Triantis, Kwon and Ekpiteta.

Agree with the standouts. The penalty was a big disappointment, but happens … Miller done lots good too in their half, but I know the situation around the goal should’ve been defended better. Overall many many positives … show that against others, we will see improvement … and more points on the board than not.

[Alfred E Newman]

Would have taken that before the game started... Had a great chance to take something from a poor/tired rangers squad. Can't complain.
Encouraging signs today.

You would have taken a respectable defeat? Goodness me.

[Since452]

Hibs were good. Crap result. Good performance.

[Hibees1973]

Aside the usual comedy moments, Miller and the penalty it was a decent display. No better than that against a poor Rangers side.

The problem we have is we still have a few imposters in the team who let us down Miller and Youan today.

We will never be a serious team until we are rid of players such are these.

[007]

Perform like that every week and we'll win more than we'll lose.

[Stuart93]

Kwon and Triantis have been massive additions in the midfield for us

Unless Triantis is injured, I don’t see how you squeeze newell back in there

[Joe6-2]

Pleased with most of the performance today, angers me that Youan and others are picking up a good wage for disappointing the fans, no respect at all

Standouts for me: Hoilett (MOTM), Triantis, Kwon and Ekpiteta. We finally looked like a team with a strategy and a shape / players who are starting to gel.

Agree with all of that. You can’t miss penalties though, especially when you are playing the ugly sisters.

I wasn’t sure about the subs. I got the fear a bit when I saw Mckirdy and Levitt coming on.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Replace three of them with Boyle, Bowie and Newell and it’s definitely better. Rudi never came on either which was surprising.


Rudi should have been on for Hoilett, not Elie youan

2.22 xG to Rangers' 1.48

[hibee1875]

Don't think they were choices. Hoillet won't play many 90 minutes and Triantis picked up a knock.

Unfortunate timing of Nectars knock given Kwon had just come off. Don’t think the Kwon sub would have been made otherwise

Yup. Can’t wait for the maroon bunch most of all though, we have players now who will fight, and we have some players who have a better level of skill.

[HibsGW]

Very frustrating but a few good performances. More convincing from Bursik, Ekpiteta solid all game and never put a foot wrong, Kwon and Triantis very good in midfield and make us look a lot more settled, Hoillett looks like a very talented footballer. O’Hora done pretty well too, as did Cadden.

[I'm_cabbaged]

Youan does not look interested

Did we knock back 2+ mill for him? 🤔

[Not In The Know]

I don’t want to be too negative as I thought the team played well today. Unfortunately I’d disagree as the subs weakened us significantly.

That's fine in hindsight, but when you're up against Tavernier, a more frenetic, 1 v 1 type like Youan is 9/10 the right choice. Gray has trusted the player and Elie disappointed.

I grew up in the era of John McDonald for the huns, would have made a career as good as Tom Daley if he was not a footballer.

Miller for his size and weight would have won every gold medal at the olympics if he'd taken up diving rather than football, i wish he had.

Never good enough to play right back for us, an awful player with a good throw in.

Said it very early after he first signed, he's done very little to change my opinion.

[Cooshed Kid]

We were good enough to win this game even although the sloppy penalty kick cost us badly and, unfortunately, our substitutions this time resulted in a lower energy, less cohesive team.

Gayle looks sharp but he needs proper service or it's going to be Vente all over again. Elie looks incredibly out of touch. Once our substitutes came on Rangers became much more of a threat but in the second half we were easily the better team. Rangers are going to struggle this season but so will we if we play this well but can't find the net, especially when gifted a penalty.

A hat tip to Bursik for that fantastic save from Dessers and to the defence for really looking hard to break down. That's really encouraging.

And a docked salary for Nick Walsh for failing to book Soapy Souttar for a deliberate handball.

[Greenio]

Utterly shocking subs from Gray

What subs would you have made?

Good performance today and unlucky not to get a point, as we certainly deserved one.

Marv is my motm
Kwon was good
Hoilett was good
Miller was good second half
Bursik made the kind of save folk through he couldn't
Ellie made some mistakes when he came on, so will be the witch that folk want to burn

Class goal
***** pen

Im pleased we seem to be clicking as a team and am taking a lot of positives from that, as well as a lot of frustration that we never made them pay

[JohnM1875]

Given what we know he can do, I was surprised Rudi didn’t come on then too.

Same. I'd be playing him over Campbell in every game

[GreenCastle]

Deserved a draw at least.

Penalty was crucial.

Given me hope but we need to win next week.

Motherwell 10 points and Hibs on 5 points.

Miller my motm

The problem I have with him is that he always seems to be involved in the goals going in at our end, this time it’s his fault again which has ultimately cost us a defeat. He makes stupid decisions, and doesn’t seem to be learning from it more alarmingly.

[cabbageandribs1875]

[HH81]

The Rangers manager talking absolutely crap on his interview. What a clown.

[Hiber-nation]

Plenty to come from this team. We've sorted centre mid, we're defending better (Miller aside) and Hoilett is going to get better.

Thought Myko was poor, hopefully Gayle will be up to speed soon.

[hibee-boys]

Good performance but we need to start racking up more points and pronto.

Not sure it’s hindsight … Youan may or may not become a very good player, yet to be seen I would say … but from what I’ve seen of Rudi, he already is, and is improving weekly. He is another different type of threat to deal with for the opposition.

[SHODAN]

That was our best performance at Ibrox in years. If we can carry that into our other games, and score a few chances we'll be fine.

[hfcok]

Clement is one massive DH

[NAE NOOKIE]

Its a bugger not to take something from that game, but IMO we should concentrate of the positives because it sounds like we played ok in the first half and pretty well in the 2nd. In the end only lost to a well taken goal and a pish penalty.

Got to hope Triantis is ok because he has clearly made a difference to our midfield. Sounds like we were pretty solid in the middle of defence too which is a positive.

No criticism from me for SDG trying to bring on fresh legs when we were on top, it didn't work out but fair play to him for being positive. Too bad that most of the guys he had available from the bench have various issues limiting their effectiveness EG lack of game time and in some cases lack of ability / attitude.

Whatever happened today we lost narrowly and undeservedly at a place we usually do badly at, the trick is to build on that and continue to improve starting with Motherwell next Saturday.

[cabbageandribs1875]

lol even boyd saying it was a penalty



clement should maybe have a closer look later on

[jakedance]

Very unlucky not too take anything more from the game. Wonder goal and a missed penalty the difference. It’s encouraging but we need to start taking more points from games.

[Squealing pig]

Well played Hibs very unlucky not to take something from game

[Dashing Bob S]

Went there and competed. Could have got something from the game. A long time since we could say that in Glasgow. The second half of StJohnstone and this game have shown a big improvement. Still way off to where we need to be but there are finally signs of moving in the right direction.

Spot on.

Don't like Hibs players who look for fouls. Miller clearly does. For someone with his physical strength (he has zero guile), he doesn't half fall around the pitch.

Rangers clearly targeted him when he had his wobbly patch in the game and we suffered for it. Other teams have as well. Managers in the SPFL all know he is rash, impetuous and picks up bookings.

No point in saying 'oh, but he had a good 2nd half'.

The right side of our defence will continue to be a problem if Miller always gets picked.

[007]

Clement's summary of the handball was wrong. Can clearly see an extra upward movement of Souttar's arm just before the ball hits it. Even Boyd said it was a clear pen, though might have argued otherwise if we'd scored it.

[e2los]

You would have taken a respectable defeat? Goodness me.

Pretty much, getting hammered wouldn't have been fun or helped our players confidence going forward.

We had an awful start to the league, team is looking much better now.

Can't be comparing ourselves to the ugly sisters re resources.

We competed in this game, were never not in it.

Encouraging is all I'm saying, obviously would have been great to get something but have to be realistic.

[Northernhibee]

Frustrated. We played well but two individual moments of madness cost us. Feels like we’ve told that story before.

The players who frustrate me the most in the team are Miller and Youan. Both can clearly be excellent players as they’ve shown it before but decision making and attitude are all over the shop in terms of consistency.

To finish top six, we’d be better with players who are a consistent 7/10 each week than ones who will be 10/10 for one game in four and 5/10 for the rest.

We were very unlucky not to take something from that game. We had a game plan and looked organised throughout. Hoillet is class and I'm starting to see why we signed our two CBs. The currants are miles behind their weedgie rivals but it's been a while since we came to Ibrox and went toe to toe with them.

[Keepthefaith]

Good performance but we need to start racking up more points and pronto.

We do, but we've now played both of the uglies plus tricky away games at killie and st mirren. Biggest thing for me was the quality of performance, clear to see a structure, we stopped crosses into the box much better and drove things from midfield.

I think we'll see more attacking intent going forward from here, gray clearly trying to get the balance right in this game.

We've been significantly hampered by Bowie's injury, plus Boyle today so we do need to give the team some slack I'm actually feeling really positive after that.

There's the rub though, that's been the mantra around him since he arrived at Hibs.

Been with us for 2 years now and he didn't arrive as an untried player, already had 51 games at a decent level and has now played 67 games for us. In all his time with Hibs he's been the same, one good game in every three and the odd flash of quality. Now he appears to be adding a pish attitude to that hit and miss form.

If he was worth 2 million in the summer he isn't now. If he really is keen on a move then he has to throw his all at this season and make himself a player another club will want to pay money for ... as things stand he'll be lucky to get into the Hibs starting XI in front of Hoilett and Boyle and that's a Boyle 7 years older than him who has lost a good bit of pace.

You see the best of Miller when Hibs are chasing it and he's forced to come forward, he can be a very effective player in those circumstances ... but if he's going to be a fullback he needs to vastly improve his defending which for the most part wouldn't get him a game at St Johnstone, never mind Hibs.

No it’s always been my understanding. There is encroachment at pretty much every penalty, it’s only pulled up if you get to the ball though. Same the other way round if you’re an attacker.

Hoilett and Bowie are streets ahead of him .. Rudi is showing signs of being a great player one day too. Add in Boyle, and I don’t see us using Youan much when the others are available … I was surprised Youan before Rudi today … SDG is maybe protecting Rudi a bit, but if so, that shouldn’t have included not bringing him on today.

I thought it was a strange decision from Clemant to hook McAusland at half time. It was obviously a tactic to get 2 on 1 with Millar and it looked to be working.

I saw it differently; i thought mccausland was quite poor and not surprised he got hooked, it, sounds counterintuitive because Miller was having a mare against him but mcausland messed up loads of chances to put us away with sloppy possession. Second half miller just tightened up his act a bit i think.

That has never been the case. Encroachment has always been an offence. If by adefender,kick is retaken if missed,if by an attacker kick is reataken if scored.

Hibs are through on goal here btw

Guess they don't do they play on and we will see when it's against rangers

That was the booking for what wasn’t even a foul. The the rangers players rolling around is ridiculous … but the “referee” (some of them are not fit to be titled that, it should be reserved for neutral officials) laps it up, surprise surprise..

We've never looked like scoring although Hibs have played better than I expected.

Of course we did, Kwon great shot that was tipped round the post by Butland, she shot by Myko that should have went in before soapy handled it and Gayles header that was inches past the post, that and a few shots that were blocked by defenders.

I think we did surprisingly well today and looked a lot more solid

That would make sense … if a player enters the box before it’s kicked, they should be penalised if they have potentially benefited from it (which then isn’t left to subjective views). However …. as usual .. up the other end of the park, every chance it would’ve been noticed. Our penalty … ha, no chance ever.

Two Rangers players in the area when the penalty was struck, one of them very clearly so.

And the goalie off his line.

Aside the usual comedy moments, Miller and the penalty it was a decent display. No better than that against a poor Rangers side.

The problem we have is we still have a few imposters in the team who let us down Miller and Youan today.

We will never be a serious team until we are rid of players such are these.
That is just utter rubbish. Miller had a tough first 15 mins or so but after that I thought he was excellent

100%.

Think Miller is getting too much flack from this thread, admittedly he was caught out a few times but he didn't let his head drop.

He did a shift today against a much better team than us.

Ellie is so frustrating, sometimes on the ball he is outstanding.

He just stands out in this game anyway as being the one that is jogging about (still covers a large distance), but never looks as if he is giving it 60% never mind 100%.
Everyone else (even Mckirdy) looked as though they were busting their guts to get to ball etc.

Big improvement overall though; Ekpiteta, Triantis and Hoilett look like progress to me.

Bursik keeping us in a difficult game as well is a good sign.

I'm starting to feel positive in the direction we are going.

The more I watch this the more it makes my piss boil.

Guessing if we had scored the penalty that Walsh (perhaps against 10 men), would have somehow found a way to make sure we lost regardless of how much the game would have been changed.

Yes. Every reason to feel positive I believe .. the players you mention I agree .. I also see a player who will give his all for us in O’Hora, but he’s still finding his feet a little, almost there though, good sign. Miller and Obita have improvements to make, I’m happy to give them that time, as it’s in a better team now, and that’ll be a positive difference for them. Hoilett is simply the class any team would be glad of … our opponents today would take him if they could, trust me … and our two mainstay midfielders are excellent … how I wish we could keep Kwon … he is going to get better too … and add in Rudi and Bowie and Boyle … Newell there too for that different thing he can bring and we can use to our benefit as needed ..

isn’t looking too bad, don’t let this 1-0 defeat at ipox fool any of us.
