Overview
- Rangers were beaten 2-1 by Hibernian at Ibrox on Sunday, August 9, after Callum Wright scored in the third minute of stoppage time to snatch the win.
- The visitors opened the scoring from a VAR-awarded penalty converted by Josh Campbell and Rangers thought they had equalised when Miguel Chaiwa turned a Djeidi Gassama cross into his own net in the 85th minute.
- Top striker Youssef Chermiti was carried off on a stretcher with his knee in a brace and is due to have a scan Monday to assess the injury; the club had reportedly rejected a £22m bid for him days earlier.
- McInnes remains without a victory after three competitive games, leaving Rangers five points behind early leaders and facing a must-win Europa League return leg at Ibrox after a 2-1 first-leg loss in Poland.
- Rangers created high-volume chances (25 shots, about 2.05 expected goals) but defensive lapses, late concessions and unsettled back-four combinations have intensified scrutiny over recruitment and team selection.
