HIbs have started with the classic tactic against a team that throws they full backs forward quickly in advance of the ball. Counter attack into the space they leave vacant! Tavernier the Rangers right back was caught in an advance position. Stokes pulled wide, attacked through the vacant right back position, Kiernan failed to cover across and Foderingham went down in instalments. Goal.
they look rusty and Hibs seem to be able to get forward quickly and with ease. Rangers midfield needs to get going.
not sure why the defender stood off for so long for the goal.
It's there first game for 3 weeks. Hibs played 4 play off games in that period. So yes, bit of rust to shake off.
Give look like they are going to score everytime they go forward. Reckon Rangers will be happy to go in at 1-0 at the moment. The right back is all over the shop.
Didn't need to change. Tavernier got forward and got in the cross. Stokes unlucky with a shot off the inside of the post.
It's all about the full backs with Rangers. Very similar to Bournemouth. If you don't track them, they will punish you, but they also leave the full back positions vacant. PRemier League teams have worked out Bournemouth in the second half of the season.
Great first half. 1-1 is about right. Hibs have carved open the Rangers defence on the right side time and again. Tavernier can't defend 1v1 and Kiernan doesn't cover. Hibs may come to regret not fully capitalising. MIller is capable of a second goal at any time.
Shows you how poor the standard of Scottish football is that none of there Premiership clubs can get in the final! But in saying that what a cracking game and only half time,then it will be followed by the most boring final in our FA Cup final.
