So much for New Year’s resolutions. Hampered throughout the last 12 months by an inability to piece together moments of promise, Rangers’ start to 2025 feels jarringly familiar. With half an hour gone at Easter Road, Philippe Clement’s side appeared to have finally used their resounding victory over Celtic on Thursday as a building block.

Assured in everything they did, they raced into a two-goal lead through Hamza Igamane and might well have had more goals to put the game out of Hibs’ reach. For those fans housed behind Liam Kelly’s goal, it felt like the corner had finally been turned.

What played out either side of the interval ensured we hadn’t yet seen the last of repeats across the festive season. Martin Boyle’s goal out of nothing gave Hibs’ hope, but there should have been no real reason for the visitors to panic at the break. These days, though, that’s just what Rangers do.

Even when Igamane looked like he’d pinched the win by netting his third, Rocky Bushiri’s bravery in the box went unmatched and Hibs were level again.
