Hibs midfielder John McGinn is booked for a rather cynical foul on Nicky Law in the middle of the park.

At the other end Wes Foderingham saves a less-than-electric shot from 10 yards by Jason Cummings after he had been played in by Hibs team-mate Martin Boyle.

Paul Hanlon throws out a hefty leg to divert Lee Wallace's cutback out for a corner. From the set piece Martyn Waghorn finds space to send a "trundler" towards the Hibs goal where David Gray boots it off the goal-line.

Liam Henderson takes a sore one to the top of his foot as Rangers centre-half Rob Kiernan, a long way from the defensive area he normally patrols, challenges him with his studs up. Kiernan escapes having his name taken by referee Steven McLean.

Hibs' right-midfielder Martin Boyle shoots at goal but the curl on it takes it away from the target.

Martyn Waghorn nutmegs Hibs defender Paul Hanlon 20 yards out and is sent to to the turf by a nudge from Hanlon's backside. The home fans roar for a foul but the referee waves for play on.

Nicky Law bustles through the centre circle and is wayward with his pass out to the right. Nevertheless, he manages to pick it up again 30 yards from goal before Hibs' Lewis Stevenson takes the ball off his toe and, with a lovely shimmy which he made look all the better by his left-footedness, brings it out of defence.

Rangers midfielder Barry McKay plays a short corner to Nicky Law, who rolls the ball out to Jason Holt - his bizarre shot moves through the air like a welly boot being tossed at a country fair competition. Mark Oxley gathers with ease.

Hibs seem to be growing in confidence as the pace refuses to relent. It's a good, open game.

Jason Cummings, Hibs' 20-year-old forward, tries to volley home from the edge of the six-yard box but sclaffs at it and a trio of blue-shirted manage to snuff out the danger. The visitors look very capable of scoring today.

Former Hearts man Jason Holt is next to pester the men in green and white with a run down the right - again Hibs get it clear.

At the other end Lee Wallace tries his luck from 18 yards with his weaker right foot but Hibs deflect it out for a corner.

Wes Foderingham seems to lose his marbles for a moment and fluffs a kick-out straight to Martin Boyle but Rangers defender Danny Wilson is back to mop things up like a conscientious school janitor.

Robin Tremmel on Facebook: "Come on Hibs! We really cannot afford to lose this one. 2-2 I think."

Kenny Miller wins Rangers a corner on the right with a direct run at goal from a throw-in, and from Barrie McKay's resultant delivery Martyn Waghorn out-muscles Lewis Stevenson but heads powerfully over the bar from eight yards.

Fraser Fyvie sends a rather beefy pass-back to Hibs goalkeeper Mark Oxley from 25 yards and his touch encourages Martyn Waghorn to race in on goal. The ball deflects to Barrie McKay but Hibs regroup and clear the danger.
