Ryan Jack's goal hauled Rangers back level for a second time at Ibrox and gave them the platform to earn a debut win for Michael BealeRangers came from behind twice in Michael Beale's first game in charge to edge out Hibernian as the Scottish Premiership made a frantic return.
Close-range second-half efforts by Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Jack earned the victory that moves the Ibrox side to with six points of leaders Celtic.
But it was a fraught occasion for Beale - who replaced Giovanni van Bronckhorst last month - with Hibs leading twice in the opening 16 minutes, first through Ryan Porteous, then Kevin Nisbet, after Fashion Sakala's leveller.
The Edinburgh side had lost six of their seven games prior to the World Cup break and that wretched run has been extended, despite a spirited showing in Glasgow.
