Tom Lawrence the Rangers hero on day of VAR drama as Hibs downed at Ibrox full house – 3 talking points
It wasn't a classic at a packed-out Ibrox but a stunner from Tom Lawrence was enough to seal a 1-0 win for Rangers, who made it four victories on the spin against Hibs.
It was a pedestrian start with Jordan Obita looking the most likely to create something down the Hibs left on a day where the visitors struggled to make anything happen. Lawrence's continued inclusion has been questioned by Rangers fans at times this season but he soon justified his involvement with a screamer. The No.11 took a clever reverse pass from Ross McCausland on the left-hand side of the Hibs box, took a touch to set himself, and curled one in at the far post - the goal initially disallowed for offside before a lengthy VAR check deemed it on.
There was more VAR drama right on half-time and this time it went against Rangers, John Souttar penalised for handball in the box. But Jack Butland bailed them out, saving, and holding, a poor spot-kick from Mykola Kukharevych.
Some grumbles were heard amid the quiet as a packed out Ibrox grew slightly frustrated in the second half. Cyriel Dessers, on as a sub for Hamza Igamane, nearly brought the stadium to its feet with a header 10 minutes from time but it was brilliantly saved at close range by Josef Bursik.
