HT: Hibernian 0-1 Rangers
The guys in commentary on Sportsound feel the free kick leading to Rangers' goal was soft.
James Tavernier's strike is simply sumptuous, but David Marshall didn't cover himself in glory either.
As fantastic as he's been throughout his career (we'll always have Serbia), he's cost Hibs a few goals recently.

I don't think there's been a lot in the game, there's not been too many chances created.
Rangers started the better but Hibs grew into it and the goal came at a bad time, Hibs were just gaining confidence.
For Tavernier to do what he did, from that angle, is just phenomenal. To even think about taking the shot on from there is something. To execute it is another thing.
SWPL title showdown
As you digest that first 45 minutes in Leith, a reminder it is a HUGE final day in the SWPL.
Glasgow City, Rangers, and Celtic can all win the title and you can watch and follow it all on the BBC Sport website.
Here's a nice rundown of what each team needs. We'll have the matches and live text rolling later this afternoon.
HALF-TIME - Hibernian 0-1 Rangers
Hibs have it all to do after James Tavernier's audacious free kick ensures Rangers go into the sheds in front.
David Marshall will regret his part in letting the Rangers captain curl in from out wide.
Up the other end, Josh Campbell ought to have levelled for Hibs.
Frantic stuff.

Fashion Sakala leaps well to get his head on Ridvan Yilmaz's cross, but the Rangers forward can't control the finish and it bounces well wide.

Campbell has got to score. He has to get that instep of the right boot on it and guide it back to goal. To be fair, he is stretching.
He's brilliant at that, he makes those late runs, he wants to score. Hibs need to hang in there and chances like that one will appear.
What a miss...
Hibernian 0-1 Rangers
Hibs should be level!
Kevin Nisbet strokes a wonderful ball with the outside of his right foot across the goal, and Josh Campbell slides in but puts it wide from five yards.
Should've scored.

As I mentioned pre-match, James Tavernier scored a free kick at Easter Road on his Rangers debut in 2015.
Nearly eight years and 400 appearances later and he's still doing it. Incredible.

It's how he hits them. He gets it up and down so quick. It comes in flat and with pace on it. It's a wonderful goal, we've seen him do it on numerous occasions.
The cheek!
'Sensational'
Hibernian 0-1 Rangers
Steven Thompson
Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound
It's an incredible goal, it really is.
I thought he would try and flash it across the face of goal into the six yard box, but he spots Marshall has left the goal open.
We've seen so many times the quality that James Tavernier has from dead balls. That's sensational, but David Marshall will not be happy with that.
The technique, the execution... it's sensational.
GOAL Hibernian 0-1 Rangers
James Tavernier
He marks his 400th appearance with a wonderful free kick!
But David Marshall, dearie me.
It's out towards the left-hand touchline, and Tavernier has the audacity to curl it on target, and Marshall can only help it on its way into the net.

Bit scrappy now. Both sides giving the ball away a bit cheaply.

I'm looking at the two Rangers full-backs. Tavernier loves bombing on but Youan has run him in the last few minutes, he's put him on his back foot.
Tavernier might be thinking 'I need to give myself a couple of yards here' to try and match his pace.
Hibs warming up
Hibernian 0-0 Rangers
Elie Youan has sprung to life.
He surges down the left wing and earns a corner off James Tavernier.
Rangers defend the set-piece pretty comfortably.
CLOSE!
Hibernian 0-0 Rangers
Hibs' best chance.
We see the best of Youan as he ties James Tavernier in knots before picking out Kevin Nisbet, whose header flies past the post.

Hibs are quite content to let Rangers have it at the back with the two centre-halves. They're just blocking and closing the lines.
Rangers are popping it about, trying to play through the lines. But, if Rangers switch the play, they have a two-v-one all day long.

I hear you, Thommo.
Elie Youan drives inside off the left wing, he's got a lot of time and space but his shot is extremely tame.
Hibs need better from him.

Robby McCrorie comes out to claim another Hibs ball into the box, and gets a free kick.
'Protected species' comes to mind with that one. Goalless after a frantic, vintage Premiership, opening.
'Youan frustrating'
Hibernian 0-0 Rangers
Steven Thompson
Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound
Elie Youan is frustrating to watch. Last week he was brilliant up at Aberdeen. At times he looks unplayable.
Today, he's had the ball a couple of times but his end product needs to improve.

Neat stuff from Rangers.
Cantwell to Tavernier to Sakala, who cuts in and shoots from a tight angle.
An easy one for goalkeeper David Marshall to save, though.
