Rangers prevailed in a bruising battle with nine-man Hibernian to progress to the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup and maintain their four-fronted campaign.
Any slither of hope the depleted home side could force extra time vanished when Fabio Silva fired Rangers to Hampden with a late finish.This was Leith, not Lisbon. Cultured on the continent, this contest was immediately thrust into frenzy as both sides traded blows in raucous capital conditions. The game's ferocity was pierced by an unfortunate injury to the visitors' Dujon Sterling, before a sense of concern engulfed Easter Road as Boyle lay motionless on the turf after John Souttar landed on him.
No sooner had the defender returned to the home dressing room, he was joined by Moriah-Welsh, who was shown a straight red for a reckless slide on Lundstram. He may have lost Sterling and McCausland to injury, but away from the treatment table, there was so much for the Rangers manager to appreciate about his side's display.
For Hibs, it's a sense of frustration as Hampden eludes them on this occasion. There wasn't much between the sides for much of the affair, only for their lack of discipline to effectively end the contest.
