Scarlett Stuns Rangers 2-1 in Hibs Game at Ibrox

Rangers lost 2-1 to Hibernian in the hibs game at Ibrox, and Dane Scarlett’s late winner sealed a fourth defeat in a row for Danny Röhl’s side. James Tavernier had already withdrawn from the squad after learning he would not start, then appeared before kick-off for a presentation from John Greig.

Ibrox Turns on One Finish

Hibernian took the lead early through Martin Boyle, who met Jordan Obita’s cross in space and smashed a volley under Jack Butland from 10 yards. Rangers answered just before half-time when Thelo Aasgaard drove a powerful free-kick into the top corner from the edge of the box, but the match still tilted late once Scarlett bundled the ball over the line.

Raphael Sallinger kept Hibernian in front during the first half with several saves as Rangers pushed for a second goal. That stretch mattered because the home side had already dropped three post-split games before this one, and the result extended the run to four.

Tavernier’s Farewell Night

The pre-match presentation gave Tavernier a brief moment in front of the home crowd despite the team news that kept him out of the starting line-up. He is leaving Rangers in the summer after 11 years, so the night carried more weight than a routine league fixture at Ibrox.

For Rangers, the scoreline leaves the immediate story fixed on a fourth straight loss and another late swing against them at home. Hibernian leave with three points from a match decided by one finish, while Rangers are left with the kind of result that makes every missed chance and every defensive lapse feel larger than the margin suggests.
