Story of the game

Hibs started and finished this game the stronger side, scoring early and then again in the final quarter to take victory.

Liam McLeod

BBC Sport commentator at Easter Road

"Hibs have a priceless three points."

FULL-TIME

SNS

Paul Hanlon's goal takes Hibs to within five points of Scottish Championship leaders Rangers, who fail to win in the league for the first time this season.

Martyn Waghorn volleys into the hands of Mark Oxley but the Rangers striker was also penalised for a push.

INJURY TIME

There will be four minutes of stoppage time, two already played.

Martyn Waghorn is perhaps fortunate to still be on the pitch as he remonstrated with Fyvie during that melee on the pitch and the Rangers striker has already been booked.

YELLOW CARDS

Hibs' Marvin Bartley and Rangers' Andy Halliday are booked for dissent and Fraser Fyvie is also cautioned.

There's a flash point as Rangers players express anger at Fraser Fyvie's heavy challenge on Barrie McKay.

James Tavernier's lofted pass finds Martyn Waghorn in the Hibs area but the Rangers striker lifts his shot well over.

SNS

Are Hibs about to cut Rangers' lead at the top of the Scottish Championship to five points?

SUBSTITUTION

Final change for Hibs. Islam Feruz takes over from Dominique Malonga.

YELLOW CARD

Nathan Oduwa takes out Fraser Fyvie as the Hibs midfielder tries to break and the Rangers player is cautioned.

SUBSTITUTION

Final change for Rangers as Jason Holt makes way for Dean Shiels.

Hibs holding on to possession well as they try and see this game out.

Brian McLauchlin

BBC Scotland at Easter Road

"What a game this is turning out to be at Easter Rd. Just as it looked as if Rangers were about to go in front Hibernian score! Will there be another shuffle in the Rangers pack or will Hibs hold on for what could be a vital three points?"

Rangers have gone straight back on the attack after losing that goal. Jason Holt had a shot blocked by the Hibs defence and now there is a stop in play as Rangers forward Martyn Waghorn gets treatment on an ankle knock.

GOAL

SNS

Hibs are ahead again. John McGinn's inswinging corner is missed by goalkeeper Wes Foderingham and Paul Hanlon is on hand to power home a header.

GREAT SAVE!

John McGinn's influence in this game is growing all the time. His free-kick from the right is tipped over by Wes Foderingham.

BBC Radio Scotland pundit Willie Miller says that was "a typical striker's tackle".

YELLOW CARD

Very late tackle by Martyn Waghorn takes out John McGinn as the Hibs midfielder is on the run and the Rangers striker gets booked.

HITS THE WOODWORK

Rangers frustrated again as Nathan Oduwa's bending shot bounces on to the post. This game is so open.

It was a great pass from John McGinn for the Jason Cummings chance but the striker's take by chesting the ball forward away from his marker was also exquisite.

SUBSTITUTION

Another change for Hibs. James Keatings replaces Liam Henderson.

GREAT SAVE!

Hibs break and Jason Cummings gets clear from John McGinn's superb pass. The diminutive forward is one-on-one with Wes Foderingham but the keeper prevails, diving to his right.

PENALTY APPEAL

Andy Halliday gets to the byline and tries to deliver a cross. The ball bounces up on to the arm of David Gray but not penalty given.

SNS

Regardless of how this game finishes, both sides have contributed to a highly entertaining contest

Stew Ross: "Typical Hibs I'm gutted looks like we are staying down again."

Rangers have controlled possession in the last few minutes and are finding all sorts of space in Hibs' territory.

SUBSTITUTION

Nathan Oduwa and Gedion Zelalem replace Nicky Clark and Danny Wilson in Rangers' first changes.

HITS THE WOODWORK

Rangers very close to getting the lead. Martyn Waghorn latches on to James Tavernier's chipped pass and forces an excellent save from Mark Oxley. The loose ball falls for Lee Wallace, whose shot is deflected on to the crossbar by Darren McGregor.

CLOSE!

John McGinn's rising shot swerves past the left-hand post. Good effort from the Hibs midfielder.

Carelessness from Fraser Fyvie allows Rangers easy possession deep inside the Hibs half. Barrie McKay finds James Tavernier on the right and the full-back's teasing cross just evades Nicky Clark.

CLOSE! x2

Rob Kiernan clears a low ball into the Rangers box and the defender's intervention flies just wide of his own goal. From the corner, Marvin Bartley's low effort slips past the right-hand post.

The Rangers equaliser has been credited as a Darren McGregor own goal.

GOAL

SNS

Just the start to the second half that Rangers would have wanted. Lee Wallace receives Martyn Waghorn's pass wide on the left, is given time to unleash a shot and the strike takes a deflection off Darren McGregor on its way in.

KICK-OFF

The match resumes with Rangers kicking off the second half.

SNS

An enthralling first half at Easter Road. What will the second half bring?

bringthemonjpn: "#bbcscotfootball What a first half that was. Need a double espresso in my double bovril after that. Please don't let it finish a draw."

Just watched the Lewis Stevenson challenge on Jason Holt again. Looks like Rangers should have had a penalty early in the match with the Hibs defender bundling the midfielder over.

Brian McLauchlin

BBC Scotland at Easter Road

"The game though is still very much in the balance with Rangers denied a penalty after Holt went down under a challenge by Stevenson and Mark Oxley saving well from James Tavernier. The Ibrox side finished the opening 45 the stronger but so far have failed to breach the Hibernian rearguard."

HALF-TIME

SNS

Hibs hold their lead until the break with Jason Cummings' goal the difference so far. Very impressive from the hosts early on but Rangers have gradually come back into this game, finishing the half strongly.

YELLOW CARD

Hibs' Liam Henderson barges over Rob Kiernan and is promptly booked.

Hibs midfielder John McGinn's clearance smacks off the body of the grounded Danny Wilson. Sore one for the Rangers captain as the ball trickles out for a goal kick.

Another striker from Jason Cummings, this time low along the ground, is gathered by Rangers goalkeeper Wes Foderingham.

Dundee United manager Mixu Paatelainen is in attendance at Easter Road today. His side take on the Finn's former club Hibs in the Scottish League Cup in Edinburgh on Wednesday, with the Tangerines having claimed a first win under their new boss against Ross County yesterday.

SNS

The Rangers bench have watched their side recover from losing positions this season, including once at Easter Road. Will they make changes or persevere with the current line-up?

Rangers win a free-kick following David Gray's challenge on Barrie McKay. Dead ball specialist James Tavernier sizes it up but smacks it straight into the wall.

Brian McLauchlin

BBC Scotland at Easter Road

"After a frantic early quarter when Hibernian took the lead the pace of the game has dropped substantially with Rangers now coming more and more into the game. That said, the home side have had a couple of half-chances to increase their lead."

End to end

From the resulting corner, Lee Wallace's bending right-foot shot was blocked and Hibs broke, Dominique Malonga curling high and wide.

GREAT SAVE!

Rangers press again and this time Nicky Clark crosses low, right across the face of goal. the ball evades Martyn Waghorn by James Tavernier is waiting at the back post to fire in a shot that Hibs goalkeeper Mark Oxley turns out for a corner.

Decent phase of play for Rangers as a few neat passes on the edge of the Hibs penalty area leads to a low shot by Jason Holt but a Hibs defender Darren McGregor gets his boot in the way.

Crucial stage of the match this. Rangers went a goal down in the Challenge Cup tie at Easter Road earlier this season but were 2-1 up by half-time after Hibs had passed up a couple of chances to double their lead.

"What a start at Easter Road. Penalty claims, near misses, feisty challenges, yellow cards and a magnificent strike by Jason Cummings to give Hibernian the lead. And we have only played 14 minutes!"

Hibs on top

Liam Henderson fires wide from a similar position to the Cummings strike. The hosts are hungry for more.

GOAL

SNS

Hibs hit the front and it's an excellent finish from their top scorer. Jason Cummings receives a pass in the inside right channel around 20 yards out, sets himself and curls the ball powerfully past Wes Foderingham.

CLOSE!

Rangers push forward again and Lee Wallace flashes a low shot narrowly wide of the right-hand post.

PENALTY APPEAL

Rangers fans claimed for a penalty after Jason Holt went down under the challenge of Lewis Stevenson in their first attack. Having seen replays, it certainly wasn't a clear-cut one and referee John Beaton seems to have taken the view that Stevenson got enough on the ball.

YELLOW CARD

First booking as Rangers' Dominic Ball is cautioned for a high challenge on John McGinn.

At the other end, Rangers almost get in with a couple of dummies and step-overs and eventually win a free-kick wide on the right. James Tavernier's delivery eventually leads to a run and low cross from the left by Lee Wallace but Hibs clear.

Jason Cummings tries to make an early impression from wide on the Hibs left but his cross goes over the crossbar.

KICK-OFF

And it is hosts Hibernian who get the match started.

Setting the scene

BBC Scotland at Easter Road

"The sun is out on an autumnal Sunday afternoon at Easter Road. Alan Stubbs says he expects his team to beat Rangers and close the gap.

"This is possibly the biggest test of the season so far for Rangers in their quest to gain promotion to the Premiership. Team selections crucial particularly in defence with both sides capable of creating chances.

"Should be exciting for the large crowd inside Easter Road."

"We're at home. We approach every game at home, every game away as a must-win. I can see why people are saying it but I find it, probably wrong, to say it's a must-win in November. There's still a long way to go, there really is but we're not looking at points, we're looking at performance."

Rangers manager Mark Warburton

SNS

"In terms of physicality, it's a tough test today. It's our normal shape but it just allows Andy Halliday a bit more freedom to get forward and we get some more security in terms of physicality with Dominic Ball sitting in front of the back four."
