Half-Time Report: Hibernian getting better of Rangers again

Hibernian are on course for a third victory over Rangers this season after entering the break of their Scottish Championship clash with a 1-0 lead.

Scott Robertson poked in a 19th-minute goal for the visitors to Ibrox, who will climb above Rangers to second in the table with three points this evening.

The Gers twice went close on the 10-minute mark as Newcastle United loanee Haris Vuckic unleashed a 20-yard drive which Mark Oxley parried away.

Kenny Miller was first to the rebound and guided it towards the empty net, only for Hibs defender Liam Fontaine to head the ball away off the line.

The Edinburgh outfit, who have already beaten Rangers 3-1 and 4-1 this term, took the lead a short while later as the ball fell kindly to Robertson on the penalty spot after stand-in keeper Lee Robinson had blocked bravely at the feet of Jason Cummings.

Although Miller was forced off with an injury, Rangers continued to threaten as they did prior to the opener, with his strike partner Kris Boyd glancing a header narrowly wide and testing Oxley with a long-range snapshot.
