Beaten and well strirred

Our wee legionaire has turned into a tinkerman, like that guy who was manager at Chelsea. He tried to swap the team around and blew it, big time. It was only his first defeat so he is still a great manager but Hibs humped Rangers.

Hibs' New Zealand striker scored two goals and there where nine bookings and two red cards. Luckily the ref missed Rodriguez attacking Killen out it could have been worse. In fact it was Killen that got sent off for a foul on Rodriguez. Hopefully we can get that referee every week.

Having said that he set off Phil Bardsley for talking back to the referee. Maybe the Manchester United boy is getting big for his boots. He will be missing against Celtic though.

Rangers didn't have a shot at goal for the whole of the first half and could have been 5 upat half time. But Filip Sebo equalised in the second half and it looked like a lucky draw. But Killen got a goal nine minutes from time to give Hibs the win.

Luckly Rangers have Allan McGregor because he saved well to deny Ivan Sproule in the first half.

Killen then was just inches away from scoring at the far post from a Michael Stewart free-kick. Although he did score after eight minutes when he got to another Stewart free-kick and headed over McGregor.

The first half was all Hibs and McGregor did well to stop another Killen header and Karl Svensson blocked the Rob Jones' follow-up shot. Rangers did not seem to be able to deal with Hibs' pace, especially Sproule who ran the show.

Hibs had a stonewall penalty claim turned down by referee Underhill after Rodriguez attacked Killen in the box.

The second hlaf started the same as the first finished with Hibs on top. But Rangers eventually had a decent effort with a 30-yard free-kick which whistled a couple of yards wide.

Then finally Rangers got something from open play after David Murphy gave the ball away . Chris Burke got it and crossed to Sebo who head the undeserved equaliser.

Hibs got all three points when Killen headed the winner from in a great cross from Steven Whittaker with just nine minutes to go.

Then the referee sent off two players. What a muppet.

LeGuin? Starting to lose faith in this guy. What a muppet.
