Fernandez Header Lifts Rangers Past Hibs to Third as Röhl’s League Run Continues

With Europe effectively over, Rangers now prioritize the league, their depth tested by injuries plus AFCON call-ups before Hearts.

Overview

  • Emmanuel Fernandez scored a 34th-minute header from Dujon Sterling’s cross to secure a 1-0 win at Ibrox.
  • The victory extends Danny Röhl’s Premiership unbeaten start to eight matches, with six wins and two draws.
  • Rangers kept a clean sheet after Sterling’s first-half goal-line clearance, and Djeidi Gassama later had a finish ruled offside by VAR.
  • The team moved nine points behind leaders Hearts with a game in hand ahead of Sunday’s trip to Tynecastle.
  • European hopes have faded after a 2-1 defeat at Ferencvaros left just one point from six group matches, with selection further tightened by Nasser Djiga’s AFCON departure and Bojan Miovski’s leg issue.
