Both of these teams went for 120 minutes at the weekend. Does that explain the high number of errors? Hibs are certainly showing more appetite and well they should because there's more at stake for the Leith side.

Rangers make a double change as Billy King and Gedion Zelalem replace Dom Ball and Michael O'Halloran.

That was Niklas Gunnarsson's first goal for Hibs. The defender has been used sparingly since joining on loan in January but has done his chances of a permanent switch no harm there.

Another nervous moment for Hibs keeper Mark Oxley, who is out quickly to snaffle up a ball over the top but then drops it after getting a wee nudge. He recovers to flop on the ball and the home fans can breath again.

Jason Cummings is allowed to roam free near the Rangers penalty box but can't profit from the generous defending this time as he fires a shot off target from 20 yards.

Fraser Fyvie leads a Hibs break but it fizzles out with Anthony Stokes lazily drifting into an offside position. Rangers respond with an attack and Andy Halliday finds Michael O'Halloran, also offside, who sends a rising shot over.

Hibs midfielder John McGinn looks just fine as he slides into a tackle on James Tavernier. Hibs sitting deep again, inviting Rangers onto them.

We're off again. No sign of Liam Henderson, with both teams unchanged.

It looks like Hibs will be introducing Liam Henderson for the second half since he's been summoned from his half-time kick-about. That might be for John McGinn, who took a couple of bangs.

BBC Scotland's Tom English: "It has been calamity at the back, defensive meltdowns all over the place and three dodgy goals. Hibs were really good for the first half-hour, they had a real edge and hunger about them, as Rangers did against Celtic on Sunday. Rangers didn't look at the races at all, they didn't have the same intensity, but they have the lifeline of a rather iffy goal.  It is all about character now for Hibs.  Do they have it? Can they see it out? They have been in this movie before - as recently as last week against Falkirk.  Do they believe in themselves sufficiently to win this match?"  

Both goalkeepers are in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. Wes Foderingham literally threw an Anthony Stokes cross into his own net and then Mark Oxley failed to cope with a harmless looking delivery, allowing Jason Holt to reduce the deficit.

Hibs were looking strong at 2-0, defending resolutely and dangerous on the break.

It's been a muddle of mistakes at Easter Road as Hibs lead at the halfway stage.

Andy Halliday is booked for a sliding crunch on Hibs midfielder John McGinn. The Rangers player looks to have done himself some damage committing the foul.

That's really poor from Mark Oxley who is of course back in the side at the expense of weekend hero Conrad Logan. That just amps up the pressure...

Another blunder from Rob Kiernan and Hibs are charging forward, with Anthony Stokes driving into the box. He slips a pass to Jason Cummings, who doesn't fancy it on his right foot. He then goes down in a heap as he realises he's blown a good chance and is booked for an appalling dive.

Former Rangers midfielder Derek Ferguson on BBC Radio Scotland: "Hibs have won the battle so far and earned the right to play. For Rangers that off-the-ball work ethic hasn't been there. Hibs are in their faces and forcing them into plenty of mistakes."
