Is it further evidence we have turned a corner when it comes to breaking down these park the bus strategies? The options available are just so numerous and that's aside from the Defoe and Morelos options.

Hibs didn’t park the bus though

To get six points against two sides we struggled to beat last season is a great start.

 

I'm not getting carried away but the signs are positive.

And yet for long periods it looked like they were and may as well have been, pinned back into pretty much the same position a park the bus side would be. I lost count of how many times the goalie saved them with not just good but great saves. The goalie was their man of the match.

Just as Heckingbottom's side looked to gain a foothold in the contest, Mackie was shown a second yellow card for a deliberate handball on the edge of his own box.

Rangers were utterly dominant thereafter, Defoe completing his hat-trick, his replacement, Alfredo Morelos, netting twice, and Sheyi Ojo firing home the sixth goal.

So maybe 30 of the 34 shots at goal came after they went down to 10?  Until then their goalie wasn't the difference between them and 5-0 at halftime?

I said when he went off this is what they would focus on and here it comes.

Given they scored before half time you may have been better placed saying difference between than and 5-1

Quite, but you get the gist.

I'm going to tell the Hibs fans I work with that I'm a bit alarmed at our lack of cutting edge.
