Hello, this is Alan Patullo, football writer for the Scotsman at Easter Road
00:07
where I have just finished reporting on a wintry classic 3-3, Hibs 3, Rangers 3,
00:16
a result that continues Hibs' run of good form and places some renewed pressure on
00:25
Philippe Clement, the Rangers' manager who many might have thought had given himself
00:31
some room to breathe with his first old firm victory over Celtic a few days ago,
00:38
but of course this is Rangers and very quickly pressure can be reapplied,
00:46
particularly if you fail to win on the road as Rangers did for the third time in succession,
00:53
dropping points for the third time in successive away matches over this festive period.
00:58
It's been a costly festive period, leaves Rangers still trailing Celtic at the top
01:06
by a significant number of points, having got to within 11 points, I think, of Celtic.
01:17
They are now trailing them by 13, which won't be seen, obviously, as good enough by Rangers fans,
01:25
but what a game we had here. Rangers looked like they were about to get the points,
01:30
certainly well-placed to secure the points, 2-0 up for 20 minutes.
01:35
A glorious double from the Hamza Ighamani, who really does look like a special player.
01:41
I think that's something that will possibly give Clement a lot of credit if he needs it,
01:47
which he might well do over the next few weeks, citing this very exciting young Moroccan
01:53
who not only scored a first-half double but completed a perfect hat-trick in the second half
02:00
to put Rangers 3-2 up again after Martin Boyle had grabbed a double for Hibs.
02:09
He looked more like his old self as well this afternoon.
02:15
So, Ighamani put Rangers 3-2 up with around 15 minutes left to play.
02:21
Everyone, I think, probably thought Rangers would see it out from there, but Rocky Bushiri,
02:27
the erratic but lovable Hibs defender, managed to secure a point with a late header from a corner.
02:36
I think it's just his second career goal, both of which have been equalisers in 3-3 draws, notably.
02:43
So, that was the fair on the pitch, off it.
02:48
Clement had a few complaints about the Hibs penalty, which made it 2-2.
02:57
That was after Haji had got the wrong side of Josh Campbell and brought him crashing to the turf.
03:05
Clement felt that it was the fault of the Hibs player as much as Haji for the tumble.
03:18
I have to say that wasn't the conclusion of the majority that watched the incident, certainly live.
03:26
I thought it was a penalty, but I'll be interested to see it again later.
03:32
So, he said he'd be interested to hear what Willie Colham had to say about that incident later on in the week,
03:42
when the SFA published their key incident review panel findings.
03:48
While David Gray, well, he just praised Bushiri, Rocky Bushiri, for a performance that was certainly erratic,
03:55
but had its poor moments, had its very good moments.
04:00
Obviously, David Gray was preferring to concentrate on the very good moments,
04:05
with Bushiri being at fault for the opening goal, I think, from Igemani, when he got bullied by the 22-year-old.
04:15
He almost let the Moroccan striker in for a potential winner right at the end, but Igemani hit the post.
04:23
So, yeah, plenty to talk about, plenty of action to enjoy.
04:26
I've just filed my match report. I've filed what the managers have had to say on Scotsman.com.
