Hibernian 0-1 Rangers: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments
Dive into Ladbrokes' post-match review of Hibernian 0-1 Rangers in the Premiership on Wednesday, 29 October 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
Hibernian 0-1 Rangers Post-Match Review
Well, Hibs fans, it was a tough one to take at Easter Road, wasn't it? Rangers nicked a 1-0 win, and it's a result that keeps them in fine form, extending their unbeaten run to four matches. Hibs, on the other hand, have now lost two of their last five, which is a bit of a blow after back-to-back wins against Aberdeen and Livingston. The game was tight, and while Hibs had their moments, they couldn't find the back of the net, leaving them to rue what might have been.
The early goal from Rangers in the 5th minute set the tone, and despite Hibs' efforts, they couldn't claw their way back. It's not like Hibs played poorly; they had a good share of possession and created chances, but the final touch just wasn't there. Rangers, meanwhile, showed their resilience and ability to grind out results, which is something they'll be pleased with as they continue their push up the table.
Hibernian 0-1 Rangers Statistics
Looking at the stats, it's clear this was a closely contested match. Hibs had 49% possession compared to Rangers' 51%, and they even managed one more corner than their opponents. However, Rangers were more effective with their dribbling, achieving a 57% success rate compared to Hibs' 40%. It's interesting to note that despite Hibs' slightly higher possession and more corners, they couldn't convert these into goals, which ultimately made the difference.
The card count was fairly even, with Hibs picking up two yellows and Rangers three, showing it was a competitive affair. Hibs did have a penalty, but it seems they couldn't capitalise on it, which might have been a turning point. Overall, the stats suggest a game that could have gone either way, but Rangers' efficiency in front of goal was the deciding factor.
Key Moments from Hibernian 0-1 Rangers
The key moment of the match came early on when Rangers scored in the 5th minute. That early goal set the tone for the rest of the game, putting Hibs on the back foot and forcing them to chase the game. It was a well-taken goal, and it showed Rangers' intent from the off.
Despite Hibs' efforts to get back into the game, they couldn't find the breakthrough. They had a penalty, but it seems they couldn't convert it, which was a crucial moment. The early goal and the missed penalty were the defining moments of the match, and they ultimately led to Rangers securing the three points.
Hibernian 0-1 Rangers Lineups
Hibernian
Hibs lined up in a 3-1-4-2 formation, with Raphael Sallinger in goal and a back three of Rocky Bushiri, Grant Hanley, and Jack Iredale. Dan Barlaser sat in front of the defence, with Chris Cadden, Josh Mulligan, Jamie McGrath, and Nicky Cadden in midfield, and Kieron Bowie and Thibault Klidjé up top. The lineup was fairly standard, but the five substitutions made during the game suggest Hibs were trying to find a way to change the momentum.
Despite the effort, no standout performances emerged from the Hibs lineup. The team worked hard, but the early goal and the missed penalty seemed to knock the wind out of their sails. It's a lineup that has served them well in recent games, but today it just didn't click.
Rangers
Rangers went with a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Jack Butland between the sticks and a back three of Nasser Djiga, John Souttar, and Derek Cornelius. Max Aarons and Jayden Meghoma provided width, with Connor Barron and Nicolas Raskin in the middle. Danilo and Mikey Moore played just behind the lone striker, Chermiti. The lineup was solid, and the early goal from Chermiti set the tone for the match.
The five substitutions made by Rangers suggest they were looking to manage the game and see it out. The lineup worked well, with the early goal proving to be the difference. It's a formation that has been effective for Rangers, and today was no exception.
Ladbrokes' Man of the Match
Jack Butland is Ladbrokes' Man of the Match, and it's easy to see why. With four saves and no goals conceded, he was a rock at the back for Rangers. His performance was crucial in securing the clean sheet and the three points, and he showed why he's such an important part of the team.
