Some appalling defending and poor finishing means we drop points in a game we'd worked hard to get back into. Very, very frustrating and these are the tight games you have to win if you want to win titles.

Right. I've never been entirely convinced about your dubious contributions so keep at the silly stuff and it will be all over for you on this forum.

it's like some fans want us to have a bad result.....just to say I was right.

Time they binned this taking the knee pish!!!

I actually find SG comments about Porteous embarrassing. We shouldn't be lowering ourselves to that wee smug prick's level. Bitterly disappointed with that result today. You have to win games like that to win titles and we just don't have the bottle to win them

Would have been better with those wee wooden cutouts in the background instead of that linesman

The sooner Aribo's back ,the better.

Plus he had both hands on Helanders' shoulders holding him down. Should have been two red cards minimum, also the lunge on Kent from Boil went unpunished, but we didn't play well at all

We pull this out we win the league...these are the types that make a champ...let them balls drop!

Arfield has been great-again.

“Hibs have been nasty, aggressive, in Rangers’ faces”, says Andy Walker at half time. Given Hanson’s fore arm smash into Hagi’s face and Drey Wright’s deliberate stamp on Kent’s standing foot; I am surprised the Ref’ did not book Morelos for scoring?

I know we have covered the Tav thing in the past but again today his mistakes/crossing and most of all decision making were again poor. The mistake and crossing were obvious but the decision making shown in the last few minutes was when we had a free kick a few yards outside the box.The position was tailor made for a Borna attempt but what does our glorious captain do takes it and floats a beautiful cross straight to their keeper,definitively change needed IMO.

One thing I would say about their second goal is Katic would never get beaten the way Helander did. Just saying....

I think that's a good point. A bit surprised at some of the post match reaction on here today. Glad I do not see some of the other forums if they are worse! For whats it's worth my reflections are: We did not lose, playing away to 3rd best form team at a notorious tricky venue in the past. Each of our victories so far have been against teams deploying a low block. Hibs bucked that trend by playing more openly and exploiting our left flank in particular. We did not look particularly comfortable in parts of the match as Hibs asked questions of us defensively. Our midfield lacked a more physical edge needed in a game like this. Jack was missed, and there is a need for another robust centre mid. The refereeing was again sub standard but we need to get used to that. It won't change. In summary, we've played better but we are still top. Ross gets some (reluctant) credit for making it an open game with chances and good saves at both ends. We grumble on here about teams spoiling games by their negative set up. Hibs were over physical at times, but they asked questions of us today. If they play the same way next weekend they will ask questions of Celtic as well. Remember, it's September.

Our defence today failed---Borna too easily beaten allowing pass for first goal.---Even allowing for blatant off-side,Tav too easily beaten and Helander static at cross,might have been chance for McLaughlin to try a nd punch ball but as I say MIGHT. It's alright to say Kent and Arfield missed but in my eyes keeper done brilliantly,if it had been ours we would have been over the moon. It's time to regroup and get set for Thursday.

You almost always need other teams to do you favours over the course of a season. We are 1 point clear, unbeaten in the league, and in theory, the destination of the league title is still firmly in our own hands. However, like in most season, we'll drop more points over the course of the season, and (hopefully) so will Celtic. The frustration today for me is if we played anywhere near of top form, we beat Hibs easily and if the officials did their jobs, we would be walking away with 3 points. Our board told is months ago that the status quo in the Scottish game could not and would not remain. They were correct, it hasnt stayed the same, it's gotten worse and is so blatant now and we are scared to call it out for some reason after being so vocal.

Almost like you wanted that ?‍♂️

It's not even a close call - it's so obviously offside

Some if the reaction , not so much on here , but the other two main forums , is absolutely mental . The Scottish league is notoriously difficult to win. , there are only two teams capable of doing it , and every single point dropped is treated like a death in the family by some , there is simply far too much football to be played yet and there will be players coming in and others leaving , let’s see where we are around Xmas , however the next 3 games are massive .

Raging at that performance - even given their 2nd goal was offside, their 2 centre-halfs could / should have been sent off and we had a goal chopped off at end (seen them given) we just weren't good enough today.

Oh, I'm not overly worried but to drop points from a winning position is very disappointing. Even if the second Hibs goal should have been ruled out for offside.

Ok so we have blinked first , need to get reinforcements for midfield , Gerrard can’t be clearer in sharp he needs .

They could cause problems too for Celtic and they also have to go to Aberdeen where we won.

Right come on Itten - your time to ‘arrive’

This could go completely belly up, very easily. We have lost control of the game.

What?

Now then, Rangers, no sitting back on laurels which you have not yet earned.

Serial bottlers in the league post break.

Thought we started well but as Hibs settled we didn't heed the warning from the superb McLaughlin save and conceded a very cheap goal, poor defending all round but especially from Barisic. We then reacted well for 5-10mins but really started to lose our way with our attacking players making all sorts of wrong decisions so it was a very nice surprise to grab an equaliser with a great finish from Morelos. What a talisman he remains to be!

Ooft. Glad wee Buff stuck that in there. Not been a great half, but that gets us out the mess, out and press on second half hopefully.

No! still dire dire

Should be a good, open game. Disappointed we've not brought in another midfield player as we are now rather short in there but still more than enough quality to win games such as these. No excuses, get it done!

Next 4 games are massive , it’s the old adage “ make or break the season “ , also if you look at our bench today it shows how stretched the midfield is , only Barjonas available .

Dependent on whether Lennon gets to spend proceeds and what he does with them

El Buffalo will sort them out ....?

Not taking the tie lightly ,but I think Willem II should be more worried about us, than we are of them.

If you believe that you probably believe eduard is fatigued

This match has an ominous buffer-hitting feel to it.

A jolly good review for Sunday's game , I will just be happy with three points by hook of by crook .

Lex Talionis is not the new Box-to-box midfielder, then. A splendidly Jacobean interpretation of the match. A word, or two, of warning: not only does the avenger often end up in a bloody mess, himself, but this kind of piece, in all likelihood, will fall foul of the present administration's proposed Hate Crime Legislation (truth, again, outdoing fiction).

Great stuff as always from @Fat Eck! Enjoy!
