Jack Iredale bails out team-mate Rocky Bushiri with a great sliding tackle to prevent Ivan Dolcek from getting a shot away.

We're up and running again...

It's been a cracking game so far and the message from both managers is likely to be 'more of the same'.

Hibs boss David Gray would like a more clinical edge in front of goal though.

United have shown their threat on the counter and the home side are going to leave a few more gaps as they try to get back into this one.

Just watching replays of that second United goal. Does Jordan Smith really need to come rushing out to confront Ivan Dolcek? Hard to blame the keeper when the defence has left him so exposed.

The visitors lead at Easter Road in a game packed full of goalmouth action.

Hibs have had 13 shots to United's four but needed a terrible own goal from goalkeeper Yevhen Kucherenko to make it 1-1.

Luca Stephenson headed United in front from their first attack and Zac Sapsford had an easy tap-in after the Hibs defence went walkabout just before half-time.

Kucherenko has made two good saves to deny Kieron Bowie after his error.

Hibs respond with a nice, flowing move that ends with a Josh Mulligan effort being blocked away for a corner.

A top drawer stop this time as Yevhen Kucherenko goes some way to making up for his own goal.

Kieron Bowie must have thought his diving header was in but the United keeper gets down so quickly to claw it off the line.

Kieron Bowie shows good strength to take in a long throw and lay the ball off to Martin Boyle. The Hibs skipper can only skew his angled shot wide though.

Hibs pack the penalty box for a Jamie McGrath free-kick but the Irishman goes for glory, with his ambitious shot flying off target.

More shaky handling from Yevhen Kucherenko as he lets a cross slip through his grasp but the United keeper soon makes amends with a good diving stop to push away Kieron Bowie's shot.

A slick move from Dundee United sets Ivan Dolcek free inside the the penalty area but Nicky Cadden slides in from nowhere to prevent a great shooting chance.

It's been a busy wee spell for Jordan Smith as the Hibs keeper rushes from his area to head clear.

The ball skipped up from the wet turf and for a moment it looked like it might just go over Smith.

Luca Stephenson has a chance for a second goal as he is all alone at the back post from a corner but Jordan Smith saves.

Hibs players are complaining about the blocking tactics of United from set-plays...

Zac Sapsford takes aim for the bottom corner with a curling shot and Hibs goalie Jordan Smith pushes it away, although it looked as if it was going well wide.

Asked if he will continue to receive the support from Rangers' heirarchy, Russell Martin says: "We'll see."

As for winning over the fans, he adds: "Only results will convince them. My job is to convince the players and the staff inside the building after a difficult afternoon and give them enough support and detail to improve.

"It is not going to be an easy journey for me to win favour. It hasn't been from day one with a lot of people, but we'll keep working and make sure it does.

"Professionally, it hurts a bit because nobody sees how hard you work. No-one sees the stuff you have to deal with, but it is what it is and is the job of a football manager."

Rangers head coach Russell Martin feels that his side were on the wrong side of three "tough decisions", having a goal wrongly disallowed, while he thought there was a handball in the lead-up to Hearts' first goal.

"There is a lot of anxiety, a lot of difficulty managing expectation," he tells BBC Scotland. "We have so many players trying to feel their way into their Rangers career in a really difficult situation.

"There's so much change, so many new players, they are coming into an environment that's really unique that they wouldn't have felt before. So we have to try to help them through that.

"We are not coming into a club that has been winning a lot and that has strong foundations, so there's been so much change.

"We knew that in-house and knew change could be messy."

Ironic cheers from the Hibs fans as Iurie Iovu becomes the first player to be booked for a clip on the heels of Martin Boyle.

Nicky Cadden bends the free-kick wide of the top corner by a foot or two.
