"First-half goals from Nicolas Raskin and Bojan Miovski were enough to settle the tie at Ibrox. The pressure on Martin almost intensified in the 18th minute when Martin Boyle beat Jack Butland, only to be denied by the offside flag. Rangers capitalised on their reprieve four minutes before half-time, when James Tavernier's corner was headed in by Raskin. The lead was doubled in first-half stoppage time as Miovski slotted in his first goal for the club after Mikey Moore's initial effort deflected his way."
"Martin has overseen Rangers' worst start to a Scottish Premiership season in 46 years, while a run of five winless matches also included their 9-1 aggregate rout at the hands of Club Brugge in the Champions League playoffs. Protesting home fans held aloft banners calling for the head coach's departure, while play was stopped after a hail of coloured balls were thrown onto the pitch. Nevertheless, his players responded with a controlled performance, enjoying 69% of possession while registering 14 shots to their opponents' six."
Rangers beat Hibernian 2-0 at Ibrox to secure a place in the Scottish League Cup semi-finals. Nicolas Raskin opened the scoring from a James Tavernier corner, and Bojan Miovski added a stoppage-time first goal for the club after a deflection. Martin Boyle had a goal ruled out for offside as Hibernian threatened early. Miovski was later denied by a line clearance and an offside flag, and Youssef Chermiti was kept out in the 88th minute. Home fans protested against the head coach and disrupted play with coloured balls, but Rangers controlled possession (69%) and outshot Hibs 14 to 6, marking continued home success over Hibernian.
