Rangers finally conceded a league goal for the first time this season – and dropped points in a 2-2 draw at Hibernian.

The Gers went into the game with seven clean sheets in a row, and were looking to match Celtic’s result after they beat Livingston on Saturday.

However, they fell behind and ended their clean sheet streak as Drey Wright fired Hibs in front at Easter Road, only for Alfredo Morelos to equalise.

Scott Arfield then put Rangers in front, but they couldn’t hang on to all three points with Christian Doidge heading the ball home to give Hibs a point.

The result means Rangers are now just one point clear of Celtic with a game more played, and fans are understandably frustrated.

There were positives to take from the performance though, and midfielder Arfield did show some attacking intent from the middle of the park.

Arfield did miss a golden chance to win the game with a close-range effort, but he was a threat throughout and took his goal brilliantly.
