Rangers fans have blasted Hibernian club officials after they were "denied" a tifo display for tonight's Scottish Premiership clash.

The away support lit numerous flares ahead of kick-off with Easter Road bathed in smoke before the action got underway in the capital.

Gers supporters then unfurled a display during the first-half, which read: "TIFO DENIED - SAME RECYCLED EXCUSES. EMBRACE FAN CULTURE."

Hibernian have been approached for comment following the claim by Rangers fans.

Meanwhile, ahead of kick-off, Gers boss Philippe Clement confirmed star man Abdallah Sima will be out of action for at least two months.

The 22-year-old Senegal international, who has scored 15 goals since arriving on loan from Brighton in the summer, was sent home from the Africa Cup of Nations after picking up the injury in training.

Ahead of Wednesday night’s cinch Premiership game against Hibernian at Easter Road, Gers boss Philippe Clement told Rangers’ official website: “Abdallah had his operation and the surgeon was really happy with the way it went.

“It was a good operation, everything went well and he will be out for between two and three months.

“He is positive, he is someone who is always working hard and we expect him to be back as fast as possible in a healthy way and we can count on him at the end of the season.”
