Despite an okay performance, Hibs left themselves too much to do to take anything from Ibrox.
Goals in either half from Joe Aribo and Ryan Kent had Rangers 2-0 up and seemingly comfortable before Kevin Nisbet made things interesting with a late header.
Jack Ross' team never really looked like equalising after that, but will be rueing three good chances missed in the lead up to half-time with the score still at 1-0.
Here's how they rated out of ten.
Ofir Marciano: Great double sabe before the first nut helpless to do much about either strike. 7
Paul McGinn: Solid enough defensively and put in a great ball for Nisbet's goal. 7
Paul Hanlon: Wasn't caused too many problems but maybe should have done better with first half header. 7
Ryan Porteous: Kept Morelos quiet and played out under pressure well. 7
Martin Boyle: Forced a good save from McGregor and caused Rangers problems. 7
Josh Doig: Wasn't able to get forward as much as he would've liked. 6
Alex Gogic: One wayward shot and plenty of effort but not much of an effect on the game. 6
Joe Newell: Passing was good but less prominent after the break. 6
Jackson Irvine: Passing in the first half was good and created chances. Quieter after the break. 6
Kevin Nisbet: Went close in the first half and remained a threat before scoring. 8
Christian Doidge: A tough shift up top for the Welshman who didn't get much service. 5
Subs
Chris Cadden: Tried to impact the game going forward. 4
Kyle Magennis: Little time. 3
Melker Hallberg: Came on and got stuck in. 4
