Michael Beale made a winning start as Rangers boss after Alfredo Morelos’ goal secured a 3-2 comeback victory over Hibernian at Ibrox.
It was a fraught occasion for Beale – who replaced Giovanni van Bronckhorst last month – with Hibs leading twice in the opening 16 minutes, first through Ryan Porteous, then Kevin Nisbet after Fashion Sakala’s leveller.
Rangers looked brighter after the break and Ryan Jack made it 2-2 before James Tavernier and Malik Tillman combined to set up Morelos for the winner.
Beale’s victorious start cuts Celtic’s lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to six points ahead of their game against Aberdeen on Saturday, live on Sky Sports.
Hibs remain eighth with just one win from their last eight league matches.
