Goalkeeper Jack Butland emerged as the hero for Rangers, saving a penalty in the 87th minute to secure a 1-0 victory over Hibernian. This marks the team's second consecutive win this season. Butland, who has now saved three penalties this season, denied Jamie McGrath's effort, preserving the lead established by Danilo's early strike. The Brazilian found the net in the fifth minute with a precise shot from the edge of the penalty area, giving the visitors an early advantage.

Despite the promising start, Rangers struggled to maintain their dominance throughout the remainder of the match. Hibernian, despite their efforts, failed to breach the opposition's defense, and substitute Junior Hoilett nearly caused trouble with a collision involving James Tavernier and Connor Barron.

With this victory, Rangers ended their 25-match run without a clean sheet in the Scottish Premiership, a streak that dated back to December last year. Additionally, they halted Hibernian's impressive record of scoring in 22 consecutive home games and their 16-match unbeaten run at Easter Road.

Rangers will now carry their newfound confidence into the League Cup semi-final, where they will face Celtic.

Analysis: Butland's crucial save not only secured three vital points but also breathed new life into Rangers ahead of their pivotal clash with Celtic. This victory could be a turning point for the team as they aim to regain their winning form.
