HIBS star Jason Cummings believes the Easter Road side have what it takes to beat Rangers to the Championship title and automatic promotion.

The youngster, who scored his fifth goal in as many matches with a stunning strike to open the scoring in yesterday’s top-of-the-table clash described the five-point gap between Hibs and Rangers as ‘nothing’.

Cummings added: “The belief is there and we can definitely win the title. We have a great set of lads and a great manager and coaching staff. Our confidence is through the roof now. Hopefully [the 2-1 win] rattles [Rangers] a wee bit and we keep on winning.” (Various)

Warburton: Defeat will help us

STUNNED Rangers boss Mark Warburton has insisted that his raging Ibrox stars will be encouraged to step up their game, after admitting his side were furious after defeat to Hibs.

Warburton said: “We’re angry but that will do us some good. We gave a good performance second half. There was one team in it and we didn’t get our rewards. We dominated possession and created chance after chance in the second half. How we haven’t won the game of football, respectfully, I don’t know.

“Do I anticipate we’ll use that anger positively? Absolutely.” (Scottish Sun)

Brighton remain UK’s only unbeaten team

AFTER Hibernian’s 2-1 win, Brighton & Hove Albion remain the only unbeaten team in the UK.

The Seagulls - who can count former Hoops midfielder Beram Kayal, Scotland international Gordon Greer and ex-Motherwell winger Jamie Murphy in their ranks - haven’t lost a league match since a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Watford in April.
