Half-Time Report: Hibernian cruising against Rangers

Hibernian appear to be on their way to a comfortable victory after claiming a 3-0 lead over Rangers in the opening 45 minutes.

Jason Cummings has scored a first-half brace to help Hibernian earn a 3-0 lead over Rangers at the halfway stage of their Scottish Championship match at Ibrox.

It was a promising start to the game for Rangers as Steven Smith tested Mark Oxley with a powerful free kick early on.

However, Hibernian improved as the first half progressed, and were ahead in the 25th minute when Cummings held off the challenge of Arnold Peralta, before beating Steve Simonsen at the second time of asking.

Dean Shiels went close to levelling the scores a few moments later, but Oxley reacted to keep out his header at the near post.

Hibernian doubled their lead on the half-hour mark thanks to David Gray, who climbed highest above Smith at the back post to head powerfully past Simonsen.

There was still time for the situation to get worse for Rangers as the visitors made it 3-0 when Lewis Stevenson found the space to set up Cummings for his second of the game.
