Rangers FC found a late breakthrough at Ibrox when Djeidi Gassama drove a low ball across the face of goal and Miguel Chaiwa turned it into the net. It was the kind of ending that changes a match in a heartbeat, with Hibernian left to wonder whether they had held on until the final touch went against them.
The moment came after Gassama had already been involved in the game’s sharpest attacking move, forcing Raphael Sallinger into a save with his feet before the late pressure returned. There were four added minutes at Ibrox, and Rangers used them to keep the ball alive after a corner and recycle the move until the cross from the left found its way through the crowd.
That sequence mattered because the contest had already shown how narrow the margins were. Callum Wright had put Hibernian ahead with a low left-footed finish from the right on the edge of the box after a break from a corner, and Sallinger had also pushed away a header from Lawrence Shankland. Cammy Devlin then stepped in with a tackle to stop Adam Mayor on a two-on-one counter, underlining how quickly the game could swing one way or the other.
The awkward part for Rangers is that the decisive touch did not look like a clean finish at all. Chaiwa’s intervention turned the low cross into the net, which leaves the final credit open to interpretation even as the scoreboard change itself is not. For Rangers, the important fact was not who claimed the last touch but that the pressure finally broke Hibernian inside the closing minutes.
Across the broader Scottish Premiership coverage, the same live feed also carried post-match remarks from Alfred Johansson and Wouter Vrancken. Johansson said that if you take the last 20 minutes into account, it was a good point, while Vrancken said the players worked hard for this and had not got what they deserved in the last few games.
That leaves Rangers with a late goal that felt as much earned as improvised, and Hibernian with a point that nearly escaped before the final scramble. The unanswered detail is the one that matters to anyone checking the record now: whether the late strike is eventually put down as a Rangers goal or as an own goal by Chaiwa.
