Hibs 1 Rangers 4 as Tavernier closes in on 100 club, powers of recovery again - 3 things we learned

Rangers once again showed their powers of recovery under Michael Beale as they picked up a huge win in the capital.

The Light Blues suffered an early setback inside the opening ten minutes with Connor Goldson turning the ball past Allan McGregor for an own goal but James Tavernier levelled 90 seconds later from the spot following a VAR check after a foul on Ryan Kent. Antonio Colak was then on target with a brilliant run across the front of the defence before turning past David Marshall with the Hibs veteran then punished early in the second period by Fashion Sakala after a slack clearance.

Colak - back in from the start last time out and rewarded once again at Easter Road - grabbed his second of the night to make it four for the visitors with Sakala playing a key role in all the goals as the Ibrox men ran riot in the capital. Here's three things we learned as Beale maintains his unbeaten Premiership record as Rangers boss.

Fashion Show

What a turnaround in his fourtunes at Rangers since Michael Beale arrived for Fashion Sakala.

A real key player under the new regime and once against justified his selection.

His pace and direct running style is a danger to all defenders and he was incredible in this one.

Key involvement in every goal and picked up two assists and a goal of his own.

His final ball could be much better and no doubt something Beale is working tirelessly on.

A big role to play until the end of the season and going forward..

The run goes on

Michael Beale kicked off his era as Rangers boss with victory over Hibs back in December at Ibrox.

He is still unbeaten in the Premiership since taking over with this latest result keeping that run in tact.

The only blemish on his CV is the League Cup Final defeat to Celtic.

Lucky No13 fixture tonight that makes it 12 wins and a draw under Beale so far in the league.

The powers of recovery from going behind once again came into play here. Not the first time under the new regime.

A comfortable 4-1 win in the end with spirits high after that Hampden disappointment.

100 club

James Tavernier is just THREE goals away from 100 for Rangers.

Staggering numbers for the skipper who operates at right-back.

Another successful penalty early on at Easter Road takes his tally to 97.

You wouldn't put it past him to hit the final three goals before the season is out.
