GRANT HANLEY admits Hibs felt a pressure to perform at Ibrox.

All eyes were on the home side as beleaguered Rangers boss Russell Martin fought to keep his job amid doorstep protests.

But Hanley concedes the Gers crisis talk only hyped up Hibs' expectation levels.

The veteran defender, however, always knew getting a result in Glasgow would be a huge ask.

He said: "Obviously we're disappointed. In the game, probably, we felt there wasn't too much in it.

"I didn't feel like we conceded loads of chances. To go in at halftime two down was really frustrating,

"There's been a lot of noise around the fixture and probably we felt a bit of expectation coming here.
