Hibs boss Nick Montgomery insists a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Rangers was NOT fair on his struggling side. The Easter Road side struggled to lay a glove on Rangers on their own patch as Ridvan Yilmaz, Todd Cantwell and Cyriel Dessers racked up the goals to seal a Scottish Premiership stroll for Philippe Clement's side as the league emerged from cold storage.

It leaves the Hibs boss without a win in his last four league games with the capital side two points ahead of Aberdeen in sixth - with the Dons having played two games less.

However, the boss was in bullish form following the full-time whistle. Asked of the 3-0 scoreline was a "fair reflection on the game", the Hibs boss told BBC Sportsound: "No, I don't think so.

I don't think it was a 3-0 game. It became a 3-0 game because we missed massive moments in the game. We have two one-on-ones with the goalkeeper at 2-0 and that could have been 2-2, but it wasn't to be.
