Rangers in Scottish promotion playoff final

Despite a 1-0 defeat at Hibernian, Rangers claimed a 2-1 aggregate victory to set up a playoff final clash with Motherwell.

Rangers will meet Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership playoff final despite a 1-0 defeat at Hibernian on Saturday.

Stuart McCall's men headed to Easter Road with a 2-0 advantage from the first leg, with Nicky Clark and Kenny Miller having found the net at Ibrox on Wednesday. And Rangers did a sterling job of protecting their lead in Edinburgh against the Championship runner-up, with their hosts piling on the pressure in the opening 20 minutes.

That threat eased as the match progressed, but Paul Hanlon hit a post in stoppage time before Jason Cummings curled in a late consolation.
