  2. 'A massive collective performance' - Graypublished at 17:59 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Rangers 0-2 Hibernian

    Hibernian head coach David Gray tells BBC Scotland: "It's huge. 2018 was the last time a Hibs team came here and won. The way we started the game was huge, the composure we showed and getting the goal.

    "You put a game plan in place knowing Rangers are going to have a lot of the ball, so you have to be really disciplined without the ball. Every time there was a slight mistake, a teammate was there to bail them out. A massive collective performance - the subs came on and impacted the game.

    "It's an incredible run and the players deserve all the credit for it. The big thing was trusting what we were doing. Not being too high when it's good and not being too low when it wasn't.

    "I never stopped believing and it's been a huge collective effort from everyone involved.

    "If we keep winning games, nobody can catch us and that's the mindset moving forwards."

  3. McInnes pleased with 'efficient' Kilmarnockpublished at 17:56 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Kilmarnock 2-0 Motherwell

    Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: "Sometimes Scottish football just needs you to be efficient. Don't make mistakes. On the back of last week we needed to be that type of team.

    "I thought we were the better team when they had 11 men, and I thought we were professional and efficient when they went down to 10 men.

    "There was a lot of drama but we stayed professional and stayed calm and dealt with the game. The second goal allowed us to breathe a bit easier. And they only registered their first shot on target in the dying embers of the game.

    "It's great to get a clean sheet and a few boys back who have been out for a long time. I thought it looked a bit more like us. Just be efficient, get on with the job and get the job done."

    McInnes thought Kofi Balmer's red card challenge "didn't look good", pointing out he caught Fraser Murray around the knee.

    He also believes Dominic Thompson's sending off should have stood, and was "more of a red card" than Balmer's.

    It's hard to know where to start with Rangers. There's only so many times Barry Ferguson can raise his voice. This team is so inconsistent. When you expect highs you get lows and when you expect lows you get highs.

  5. Butland blunders againpublished at 17:51 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Rangers 0-2 Hibernian

    The spotlight is on Jack Butland again after another error from the Rangers goalkeeper.

    He's had a few howlers this season but there were a number of below par performances from the Ibrox side today.

    Would he be one of the changes Ferguson is considering?

  6. Ferguson 'raging' and 'not scared to make changes'published at 17:49 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Rangers 0-2 Hibernian

    Rangers interim manager Barry Ferguson tells BBC Scotland: "Angry, really angry in fact - that's the most simple way I can put it. There's no way I'm accepting that.

    "I thought we started on the front foot before Hibs got the first goal. Another mistake from us. I said at half-time I need to see more, I want to see more aggression in our play and I never saw it. That's the thing I'm raging with.

    "I'm not going to kid anybody on. Hibs deserved it. They tackled harder, ran harder and wanted it more. It's sore for me to say that.

    "I'll take the responsibility. I pick the team and I need to go away with the players and have a long hard look in the mirror.

    "This [season] is in real danger of just petering out. It's about pride. I know we're in the Europa League, but those are easy games to get up for.

    "I will make changes, I'm not scared to make changes. I need a team that's willing to put their bodies on the line."

  7. County loss 'very similar' to previous defeatpublished at 17:45 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Ross County 0-1 Aberdeen

    Ross County manager Don Cowie tells BBC Scotland: "It was a tight game. We got done by a moment of real quality, a fantastic goal from Shayden Morris.

    "We know the strength he possesses, pace. It was disappointing to concede a goal in that manner, but you recognise it's a very good goal.

    "I dint't think there was too much in the game, lots of endeavour, lots of effort from both teams. Challenging conditions with the wind. It was very similar to the Dundee United game, I'm just frustrated we didn't create any real opportunities to hurt Aberdeen.

    "We were in enough good areas but lacked that bit of quality."

  8. Defence delights Dundee's Dochertypublished at 17:42 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Dundee 2-0 St Mirren

    Dundee manager Tony Docherty tells BBC Sportsound: "I'm absolutely delighted for the boys, I think they got the rewards for the effort they put in.

    "The clean sheet's the most important thing. The two centre-backs in particular, I thought they were magnificent. They know if they can defend, we've got players in the team that will score and that's a great feeling.

    "It just now gives us that platform. I'm not bothered about looking at the league table. The consistency of performance will get us out (of trouble)."

  9. Thelin heaps praise on match-winner Morrispublished at 17:39 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Ross County 0-1 Aberdeen

    Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin tells BBC Scotland: "We were prepared for a difficult game. There was a lot of second balls. They are good at that, but we were really stable as a team. Everybody took responsibility. We kept them out for most of the game.

    "It was difficult for us to create chances but I've looked at Shayden's goal and it's amazing.

    "If you look at his journey this year, the assists and goals he gets, how he defends... It's good to see players take steps and grow. It's a lot of work from his side, he has a strong mentality, he pushes himself."

  10. Balmer sending off 'not a red card'published at 17:36 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Kilmarnock 2-0 Motherwell

    Motherwell manager Michael Wimmer tells BBC Scotland: "The game was killed after the red card, what can I say? We talked at half time about keeping it to 1-0. Then we might get the opportunity on the counter attack. But we defended a set piece badly.

    "If this is a red card, then the one last week [Pape Gueye's challenge] in Aberdeen is a double red card. It's the same as last week, if there is a red card it's a different game.

    "I can't understand the decision. Kofi [Balmer] wants to pass the ball, this is one movement, one swing. He has to clear the ball, so he has to swing.

    "There's no movement, he's standing. For me, it's not a red card.

    "I see the the guys in training and we need to bring that into the match. We don't have to always speak about top six, we also have an eye in the other direction, to be confident to get results now.

    "It's difficult with 10 men so I can't blame the guys."

  11. 'End product poor all over the pitch'published at 17:32 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Dundee 2-0 St Mirren

    St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Sportsound: "We controlled the game but our quality was poor. We have three or four really good gilt-edged chances that we miss.

    "There's a lot of good in it but the end product was poor all over the pitch. If your end product's poor and you make individual errors, which we did, we get punished for, then you lose football matches.

    "The disappointment is the consistency, we haven't followed a great result up anytime this season. I can't ever fault the effort, I can't ever fault the desire of the players, we just lacked quality in that final third."

  12. Boyle enjoying 'buzz' at Hibspublished at 17:28 British Summer Time 5 April

    FT: Rangers 0-2 Hibernian

    "We knew it would be tough and it was in spells but we rode that to get what we deserved, I feel," a delighted Martin Boyle tells BBC Scotland.

    Boyle, who scored Hibs' second goal at Ibrox, adds: "We want to tie down that third spot and we're just taking it game by game."

    Hibs are now unbeaten in 16 league games, winning 11.

    "Incredible," says Boyle. "We believe in the manager and the squad and the fans are fully behind us. The whole club is buzzing."

    Ross County really don't look like scoring at the moment.

    That's one goal in the past five games for Don Cowie's side.

    All of the best players were in green and white. Dylan Levitt and Nectar Triantis were excellent.

    You don't expect Rangers to be so flaky, but you have to credit Hibs.

    Boos from the few Rangers fans in the 50,000 crowd who stayed for the final whistle.

    Unwanted history: five defeats at Ibrox in a row.

    Raucous cheers and celebrations from the Hibs fans in the corner, who've waited seven long years for a win at Ibrox. They finally have it.
