Promising start to the second half from Hibs.

They know they need a goal or they're out of the cup so have spent the first few minutes after the interval deep in Rangers territory.

'Triantis impressing in midfield'

John Collins

Former Hibernian manager on BBC Sportsound

I have been impressed with Nectarios Triantis in the middle of the pitch.

He looks very comfortable on the ball and is always making himself available.

Emiliano Marcondes has a deflected cross tipped over by Jack Butland then the following corner is headed by Nectarios Triantis into the arms of the Rangers keeper.

Martin Boyle has been taken to hospital.

There is an understandable reluctance from the club to comment on his current state, but they do say he is in the best possible hands.

Referee Steven MacLean is off to the fourth official with a disposable vape.

He isn't smoking it. It was thrown on the pitch from the home end.

Jordan Obita looks to get on to a ball down the left but it's too heavy and runs out.

Emiliano Marcondes blocks a pass then tries a bit of cheerleading.

He's up for it.

KICK-OFF

We go again.

Cracking tie edged by Rangers so far

Kheredine Idessane

BBC Scotland at Easter Road

Good cup-tie, this.

Rangers deservedly ahead, on the balance of play, with David Marshall making a couple of good saves - including from James Tavernier's penalty, but he wasn't helped out by his fellow defenders as John Lundstram was first to react.

It could all have been so different when Jack Butland hesitated on a back-pass and Myziane Maolida blocked his attempted clearance on to the post.

Two injuries, to Dujon Sterling and a particularly nasty-looking one for Martin Boyle, have punctuated this one, taking some of the fizz out of a game that's otherwise been bubbling away nicely.

Hibs' creative players Marcondes, Youan and Maolida will have to do more or Rangers will join Celtic and Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup semi-final draw.

'We had real opportunity to win'

And bash play to also hear from Livingston manager David Martindale after their late defeat at Celtic.

HALF-TIME

Hibs will get that chance to regroup now.

John Lundstram's opener, bundled in after James Tavernier's penalty was saved, splits the sides.

'Hibs hanging on'

Billy Dodds

Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound

Hibs are hanging on, that's for sure.

They just need to regroup at half-time.

A dangerous ball comes in from the right and Cyriel Dessers just leaves the ball instead of going for it.

Was waiting for a flag to go up but nope.

Hibs need the interval here.

If they're not careful Rangers could be two up by then.

CLOSE!

Mohamed Diomande lines one up from range and without a run-up he still manages to generate pace and power on it.

Just over. Some effort.
