Ashley Having Second Thoughts On Rangers?

Last updated : 28 December 2014 By Footy Mad - Editor

Kenny McDowall's first match in charge of Rangers ended in fresh humiliation for the Ibrox men as Hibernian dished out a 4-0 thrashing at Easter Road.

With former boss Ally McCoist put on garden leave, McDowall was given command for the rest of the season.

But his reign got off to the worst possible start as David Gray, Jason Cummings, Scott Robertson and Liam Craig all netted in Hibs' biggest win over Gers since a 5-0 drubbing back in January 1912.

The defeat moves Alan Stubbs' side to within four points of second-placed Rangers in the Scottish Championship table. But with Hearts playing Livingston later on Saturday, the League One champions are now in danger of dropping a massive 15 points behind the leaders.

The drive through to Leith would have been filled with painful memories for the Rangers supporters. Although this was the first meeting of the clubs in the capital since December 2011, the Ramsdens Cup final brought the Ibrox side east last April only for Raith Rovers to pull off a shock 1-0 triumph.

There was little cheer for the Light Blues the last time the sides met in October as Cummings scored twice in Hibs' stunning 3-1 Ibrox win.

And the misery continues to pile up on the Light Blues.
