Rangers Flounder as Hibs Snatch Late 2-1 Win, McInnes Still Pointless

The chaos began early. Just 12 minutes in, a VAR-awarded penalty. Josh Campbell converted after Vanja Dragojevic bundled Jason Kerr over. Rangers, to their credit, fired off 25 shots – *twenty-five*. Eventually, in the 85th minute, they found some relief. Miguel Chaiwa somehow turned Djeidi Gassama’s cross past his own keeper. Or, officially, it was an own goal for the Scottish Premiership record books. Call it what you like, it was 1-1. For a moment, anyway.

Then, the dagger. Hibernian broke. A late corner for Rangers came to nothing. Hibs countered, swift and brutal. Wright's shot, a deflection, a cruel curl into the far corner. Game over. 2-1. Just like that. A truly dismal evening for Rangers was only made worse when Youssef Chermiti was carted off on a stretcher. Salt in the wound.

McInnes, bless his heart, told Premier Sports the opening penalty was 'very soft.' He swore his side 'deserved' a leveller, even managed to praise their 'effort' despite the loss. 'Little things going against us,' he mumbled. 'We have to stay strong.' Sure, Derek. Right now, those 'little things' have his Rangers sitting five points adrift of Celtic and St Mirren. Both those teams? Six points from two games. Funny how that works out.

On the other side of the tunnel, Hibernian head coach David Gray justifiably beamed. He lauded his team's 'character under pressure.' Talked up his substitutions, the quality of their play. Why wouldn't he? They got the job done.
