Hibernian lead Rangers 2-0 at the interval of their Scottish Championship clash at Easter Road.
Both teams struggled to find their feet in the early moments, but it was Hibernian that took the lead after eight minutes in spectacular circumstances.
A loose header from Rangers defender Lee Wallace fell to the edge of the box and David Gray rattled an effort into the top corner.
Four minutes later, the home side had their second as Jason Cummings bundled home from close range following a volley across from the box from Liam Craig.
Rangers continued to struggle as the half developed, with Craig causing problems down the right for the home team.
Hibernian had the chance to make it three after 34 minutes, but Cummings's long-range strike was palmed away by Steve Simonsen.
Both sides had half-chances in the latter stages of the half, but the score remained 2-0 at the half-time break.
