James McFadden already sees one difference from Russell Martin era in Rangers win vs Hibernian
Rangers have already managed more league wins this season since Russell Martin was sacked after beating Hibernian in the William Hill Premiership.
Danny Rohl made five changes at Easter Road on 29 October, with Nasser Djiga, Max Aarons, Connor Barron, Mikey Moore and Youssef Chermti starting for the Gers.
Chermiti has to redeem himself in the eyes of the Ibrox faithful after seemingly mocking fans after scoring his first goal for the Light Blues against Kilmarnock with his celebration.
Danilo gave the Glaswegian outfit an early lead with a superb strike, with Jack Butland then saving a late penalty to secure the three points.
Rangers more solid under Danny Rohl in win at Easter Road
James McFadden noticed a much more organised display from the Gers in their 1-0 win against Hibernian.
David Gray’s team struggled to create too many opportunities over the 90 minutes, with the Light Blues stifling Hibs from doing much.
The Glaswegian outfit kept just their second clean sheet in the William Hill Premiership at Easter Road, the first away clean sheet this calendar year, with defensive stability under Martin a big issue.
Speaking on Sky Sports Football on 29 October at 21:28, McFadden said: “There’s no space for Hibs to play through. Rangers have been very narrow and very compact. That’s not something you would have said about them earlier on in the season.”
Danny Rohl continues dominant record vs Hibernian
Danilo’s magnificent strike at Easter Road gave the visitors an early advantage as they looked to continue their decent form in Edinburgh.
John Beaton was a bit too quick to brandish yellow cards, but in the end, that didn’t matter as the Light Blues have now managed back-to-back league wins.
In the previous 15 meetings between the Glaswegian outfit and Hibernian at Easter Road, the home side had failed to win, and they continued that run.
| Hibernian | Statistic | Rangers |
| 49% | Possession | 51% |
| 2 | Big chances | 0 |
| 7 | Total shots | 7 |
| 2 | Goalkeeper saves | 4 |
Derek Cornelius has admitted Rohl has changed the mentality at Rangers, and the initial signs have been encouraging under the German manager.
The former Sheffield Wednesday boss is known to be flexible with his system, and he’s shown that in recent matches.
Every player at Ibrox seems to have a clean slate under Rohl, and Danilo is already taking advantage of that.
