It was a nervy night for Rangers during Michael Beale’s first game in charge.

The Light Blues found themselves trailing Hibs at half-time after goals from Ryan Porteous and Kevin Nisbet either side of Fashion Sakala’s equaliser.

The Hibees missed chances to go further ahead before half-time, and believes they should have been given the opportunity to extend their lead from the spot after James Sands appeared to handle in the area,

A Joe Newell corner was sliced up into the air by Malik Tillman at the near post and Rangers struggled to properly clear their lines.

The American attempted to head away, but seemed to lose his bearings and missed with his head as the ball struck his forearm, which was out in front of him.
