    Adam Reid: Beautiful! Buzzing. Well done the Jambos! Onto next season. #bbcscotfootball

    Ian Smith in Carlisle - a happy Jambo: When it really matters, Hibs always blow it. They just haven't got the big match temperament. Well done Hearts; looking forward to next season.

    Steve: Having endured the pain of Kilmarnock in 1965 and Dens Park in 1986, can someone reassure me that there is no possible gut-wrenching way for Hearts to lose this championship? Only asking...

  5. 'Pleased with all-round effort'published at 15:04 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Rangers boss Stuart McCall

    "It was a good performance; there were lots of good individual performances but in a team unit.

    "As I said to the lads, the seasons still got a long way to go. Today was good, but just because of what's happened in the past, we've still got a long way to go - there's still a lot to play for. A result, a performance like that can only help the confidence which has been low.

    "I'm just pleased with all-round effort and desire of the players. A lot of ability and quality in there as well, I thought at times we played good stuff.

    "It was fantastic to see supporters who have been through a lot celebrating like that. That's the standard we've set now, we can't fall below that. People will talk about wanting to keep the jersey, but they've got to do it week in, week out. It's a starting block."

  6. 'A foul 100% of the time'published at 15:00 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Hibs boss Alan Stubbs

    "In terms of possession, I thought Rangers were better than us in the first half. In terms of chances created I didn't think there was a lot in it.

    "Second half I thought our tempo was better; we were starting to come into the game and, unfortunately, a very, very poor decision has altered the course of the game.

    "I don't want to stand here and try to explain it because I don't think there's any to give.

    "I've been in football a long time and I'll guarantee that's [Lee Wallace's challenge on Paul Hanlon] a foul 100% of the time".

    Pundit Michael Stewart: Is Willie Collum incapable of not making monumental mistakes in a game! How is that not a foul on Hanlon?

  14. Hibernian 0-2 Rangers (Miller)published at 14:26 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Rangers double their lead as Kenny Miller threads the ball beyond the onrushing Mark Oxley but Hibs are in uproar for what they believe should've been a foul on Paul Hanlon by Lee Wallace.

    Hanlon is booked for his protests; Miller for his goal celebration. You had the feeling there'd be another goal in this one and Rangers double their lead.

    Are those of a Hearts persuasion looking out the party hats and streamers?

    Sam Stanton is on for Scott Robertson as Alan Stubbs rolls the Hibs dice: his side need two goals in the 12 minutes remaining or Hearts will be league champions.

    Stuart McCall sends on Ian Black for Dean Shiels; not before giving the midfielder some tactical instruction with a series of elaborate hand movements; like offering top tips on how to reverse park on a busy street.

  18. Hibernian 0-1 Rangerspublished at 14:21 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    Lee Wallace appears Rangers' most creative outlet but he's still doing his defensive bit too; tracking back to mop up a Hibs counter attack by Fraser Fyvie.

  19. Hibernian 0-1 Rangerspublished at 14:17 Greenwich Mean Time 22 March 2015

    That missed chance if Franck Dja Djedje's final act as Alan Stubbs replaces him with Martin Boyle. Moments later, Lee Wallace feeds Nicky Clark but Hibs clear for a corner.

    Hibs keeper Mark Oxley then tries to grab at the ball from the set piece like a man on a storm-tossed ferry trying to prevent a pickle falling from his fish supper.

    There MUST be another goal in this one...
