Hibernian Stun Rangers with Dramatic Late 2-1 Victory

Hibernian produced a stunning late comeback to defeat Rangers 2-1 at Ibrox, with Callum Wright scoring a dramatic stoppage-time winner to secure all three points.

Rangers controlled much of the match and enjoyed the majority of possession, but Hibernian proved far more clinical when their opportunities arrived. The visitors took an early lead through Josh Campbell before Rangers levelled late in the game courtesy of a Hibernian own goal.

Just when it appeared Rangers had done enough to rescue a point, Wright struck in added time to complete a memorable victory for Hibs.

Campbell gives Hibernian an early lead

Hibernian made the perfect start and went ahead in the 12th minute.

The visitors were awarded a penalty following an incident inside the Rangers box, with the decision confirmed after a review. Josh Campbell took responsibility from 12 yards and confidently sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to put Hibernian 1-0 ahead.

Rangers were forced to chase the game from that point, despite seeing plenty of the ball.

The home side suffered another setback before half-time when striker Youssef Chermiti was forced to leave the pitch in the 36th minute after suffering an injury.

Rangers continued to search for an equaliser, but Hibernian successfully protected their advantage until the interval.

Rangers finally find a way back

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Rangers pushing forward and Hibernian defending their lead.

The hosts eventually got their reward in the 85th minute, although the goal came through an unfortunate mistake by the visitors.

Miguel Chaiwa accidentally turned the ball into his own net, bringing Rangers level at 1-1 and seemingly rescuing the home side from defeat.

With only a few minutes remaining, Rangers appeared to have done enough to secure a point after recovering from their early setback.

Hibernian, however, had other ideas.

Wright delivers stunning stoppage-time winner

The decisive moment arrived in the 93rd minute.

Hibernian substitute Callum Wright produced a long-range strike that caught Rangers goalkeeper Ivor Pandur out. The effort found the net and restored Hibernian’s lead at the worst possible moment for the hosts.

Rangers had almost no time to respond, and Wright’s late effort proved to be the winning goal.

The final whistle confirmed a remarkable 2-1 victory for Hibernian, leaving Rangers to reflect on a match in which they had dominated possession but failed to turn their territorial advantage into goals.

Goal timeline

Rangers left frustrated

The statistics offered a clear indication of Rangers’ dominance without the ball ending up in the net often enough.

The hosts enjoyed around 76% possession, registered 23 attempts and forced eight shots on target. Hibernian, meanwhile, had only around 24% of the ball and managed eight attempts, with two on target.

Despite those numbers, Hibs showed impressive efficiency.

Campbell’s penalty gave them the early advantage, while Chaiwa’s own goal looked to have rescued Rangers after a sustained period of pressure. But Wright’s stoppage-time strike dramatically changed the outcome once again.

For Rangers, the result will be particularly difficult to accept after controlling so much of the contest. Their inability to convert pressure into clear goals, combined with the late defensive and goalkeeping error, ultimately proved costly.

Hibernian claim memorable Ibrox win

Hibernian deserve considerable credit for their resilience. They spent long periods without possession but remained organised and took advantage of the opportunities that came their way.

Campbell’s composed penalty, Chaiwa’s unfortunate own goal and Wright’s sensational late strike produced a dramatic three-goal contest.

The decisive moment belonged to Wright, whose 93rd-minute effort secured one of Hibernian’s most memorable victories and condemned Rangers to a painful 2-1 defeat at Ibrox.
