Rangers suffer 2-1 defeat to Hibernian at Ibrox

Rangers suffered a 2-1 defeat against Hibernian at Ibrox, extending manager Derek McInnes’ winless start to his tenure. Josh Campbell opened the scoring for Hibernian with an 11th-minute penalty, and although a Miguel Chaiwa own goal in the 85th minute appeared to level the match, Callum Wright secured the victory for the visitors with a stoppage-time goal.

The match was marked by injury concerns for Rangers, as striker Youssef Chermiti was forced off the pitch on a stretcher. Additionally, the club reportedly rejected a club-record bid for Chermiti from Galatasaray.

Following the loss, McInnes expressed frustration, stating that his side deserved better despite the result. The defeat leaves Rangers five points behind leaders Celtic and St Mirren. On the transfer front, amid struggles to secure full-back targets, reports indicate Rangers are in talks to re-sign Jayden Meghoma on loan, while Couhaib Driouech is expected to arrive for a medical.
