Callum Wright's Injury-Time Strike Hands Hibernian a 2-1 Win at Ibrox

The defeat leaves Derek McInnes still searching for a first win, with Rangers confronting a tougher Europa League return and Youssef Chermiti stretchered off with a knee concern.

Overview

  • Hibernian won 2-1 at Ibrox after substitute Callum Wright scored in the third minute of added time to settle a match Rangers had dominated in chances.
  • A VAR review led referee Don Robertson to award a 12th-minute penalty to Hibernian for a foul by Vanja Dragojevic, which Josh Campbell converted to give the visitors the lead.
  • Rangers levelled in the 85th minute when Djeidi Gassama's low cross was turned into his own net by Miguel Chaiwa, but the late counter-attack finished the game for Hibs.
  • Striker Youssef Chermiti was carried off on a stretcher after hitting an advertising board and will have a scan on a knee injury that Manager Derek McInnes described as concerning.
  • The loss leaves McInnes without a win after three competitive matches, increases scrutiny of defensive errors and fitness, and raises urgency ahead of the Europa League second leg at Ibrox.
