We asked for your views on Hibernian's 2-0 loss to Rangers at Ibrox that ended their hopes of winning the Scottish League Cup for the first time since 2007.
Here's what some of you said:
Ian: Practically every team that has played Rangers this season has been right on top of them and making it difficult for them to move the ball forward. Hibs stood off them, gave them the freedom of the park and allowed them to settle. A bad mistake, one of a number the manager has made this season.
John: Very disappointing to lose to an average Rangers team. Ball-watching at both goals is a worrying trend. Can't fault the effort but one or two were just not on it today.
Gordon: Disappointing result following a not-too-bad display. After missing decent chances yet again it is obvious that, instead of a never ending influx of midfielders, we desperately need to sign a proven goalscorer. I feel, if we don't, we are really going to struggle this season.
Jonathon: Really poor performance and not the way to approach a match against a side that's so low in confidence. We were unfortunate with the disallowed goal, and if that stands then it's a totally different game, but overall the performance was nowhere near good enough which is extremely disappointing considering where they are at the moment.
Colin: The best version of Hibs didn't turn up when it mattered. An opportunity to get to the semi-final was missed because we weren't good enough offensively and defensively.
Conor: It was a shambolic performance from the team. There was no intensity and wasted too many chances going forward. We played like the team who were in trouble.
We went into the game underestimating them. We need to be more clinical going forward and be more organised at the back otherwise we're going to find ourselves in a difficult position going forward in the league.
Allan: Toothless display where we allowed them to dictate the play. Too many players losing individual battles. We had an opportunity to go to an environment that wasn't perfect for the home team and use the off-field issues to our advantage but too many players didn't turn up.
We need to be moving the ball quicker as we're becoming too predictable in our play. An opportunity for a trip to Hampden missed. Tuesday evening feels like a big game now ahead of two further significant away games as we haven't hit the standard of which we finished last season.
