This is the moment that Hibs' fans paid a fitting tribute to late former chairman Ron Gordon last night.

The Hibees faithful belted out an emotional rendition of the club anthem 'Sunshine on Leith' before their Premiership match with Rangers at Easter Road.

It was sadly announced last month that the club's majority shareholder had passed away aged 68.

The American businessman had been receiving treatment for cancer for around one year.

On the pitch, Lee Johnson's men could do little to keep Rangers at bay. Michael Beale's side ran out comfortable 4-1 winners in the capital.

However, prior to the game, the Hibs man did their club proudly.

Asked to arrive inside the stadium at least 15 minutes before kick-off, the stage was theirs to show their appreciation for the club's former owner.

Hibs players wore a special warm-up t-shirt that read 'May the sunshine of Leith, shine on you always Ron' on the front and 'RIP Ronald J Gordon August 1954 – February 2023' on the back.

During the match, Hibs' players wore the number 68 on their shorts as a further mark of respect.

They are also wearing a black armband as a mark of remembrance for Gordon too.

And Hibs supporters sang their hearts out with an emotional version of the Proclaimers' famous song.

A photo compilation of Gordon as Hibs chairman was shown on the large screens inside the stadium too.

On the field, as stated, it was mainly one-way traffic - despite the hosts leading early doors.

Rangers stormed back to claim a straight-forward 4-1 victory at Easter Road, with James Tavernier, Fashion Sakala and Antonio Colak netting the goals, with the latter hitting a brace.

It was a comfortable evening for Beale and his team in the end. And the Englishman feels his players could've scored eight goals.

He said: "It was very equal to the last time that we were in Edinburgh across the city. The energy was right from the first minute, I thought the front three pressed really well, the midfield backed it up behind and the one poor moment on the night was how we defended the set play.

"Our organisation was wrong for the first goal but after that, and even before that, I thought some of our play was good. Certainly, after that we were excellent.

"We scored four and probably should have scored double that and that is not being disrespectful. We missed big chances tonight.

"Had some fantastic play and the energy was good. That all comes from the out-of-possession stuff, really."
