Fashion Sakala's unpredictability has been hailed by James McFadden as he admitted he was at the heart of everything good from Rangers.
The Light Blues attacker was on top form as he played a major role in the comeback win over Hibs at Easter Road. Connor Goldson's own goal had the home side ahead but the Zambian was involved in the attack that ended up with Ryan Kent fouled for a penalty following a VAR review with James Tavernier dispatching from 12-yards.
Sakala then teed up Antonio Colak for his first goal with a brilliant low cross after using his pace once again to cause havoc in the Hibs backline. He then got a goal of his own by penalising an error from David Marshall with the BBC pundit hailing his 'brilliant' turn and finish before he once again teed up Colak for Rangers' fourth and final goal.

It was an all round brilliant display from the Light Blues' star man on the night with Michael Beale also branding him 'unplayable'. Speaking on BBC Sportscene, James McFadden said: "He is willing to run. We know that. It is a huge strength his unpredictability. I think he linked up really well with Antonio Colak.
"When you are a forward with the pace he has got and willing to run it causes defenders headaches all over the place.
"Hibs were massively open, trying to take the game to Rangers, get bodies forward and put them under pressure and Rangers exploited the gaps. Sakala was on all night down the left side. That's a brilliant end product [Colak goal].
"You are right. Fashion Sakala because of how unpredictable he is, this one [his goal], he should take that on his right foot and get the shot away but he has a look over his right shoulder. It is a brilliant turn. It really is and the finish is briliant as well. He was a constant threat and at the heart of everything good from Rangers.
Leanne Crichton added: "I think under Michael Beale his game has been simplified. They use the asset in his pace a lot more. He looks to play in behind off the shoulder and manipulates his play. They really have utalised that tonight. He was outstanding."
