Martin Boyle fires shots at Rangers fans in Instagram post after Hibernian win
Rangers fell to another disappointing defeat at Ibrox as their miserable domestic campaign begins to near its conclusion.
The Gers were beaten at home by third-place side Hibernian, but while it had no impact on the season as a whole, there were some worrying signs.
Rangers are 15 points ahead of Hibernian, but they are 13 points behind Celtic, who also have a game in hand, and it was another poor result in the Scottish Premiership at Ibrox.
Goals from Dylan Levitt and Martin Boyle handed Hibernian three points at Ibrox, and the latter has now fired another shot at Rangers.
Boyle fires shot after Hibernian beat Rangers
Experienced winger Boyle has played against Rangers 25 times over the years, and has made himself quite the villain with several goals against The Gers.
The Rangers defence were carved open by one low-driven long ball, which found Boyle in plenty of space, who drove forward and finished beyond Jack Butland to make it 2-0 to Hibernian.

After a VAR check, the goal was confirmed to be onside, and Boyle was very effusive in his celebrations as Ibrox was stunned into silence.
The 31-year-old took to Instagram after the game to express his delight, and no words were necessary for him to try and further rile up the Rangers fanbase, simply posting a kiss emoji alongside a picture of him cupping his ears to the Ibrox support after his goal.
Boyle’s record vs Rangers
This was not Boyle’s first encounter with Rangers over the years, as the Australian has faced the Gers on 25 separate occasions.
Boyle has played against Rangers in League Two with Montrose, as well as with Hibernian on a lot of occasions, and has scored seven times.
The attacker netted twice in a 3-3 draw earlier this season, while his latest goal was the nail in the coffin for Rangers against Hibs on a bitterly disappointing day at Ibrox.
Boyle has recorded just four wins over Rangers in his 25 appearances, but did score a hattrick against them in a 3-1 win in November 2021 in the League Cup, and his latest strike was another memorable one for all the wrong reasons for Barry Ferguson’s side.
