Glasgow Rangers They dropped two points at Easter Road on Sunday after failing to maintain their lead against Hibernian in the Scottish Premier League.
The Light Blues led 2-0 and then 3-2 at various points on the afternoon, but were unable to hold on for three points despite a hat-trick from Hamza Eghamani, as the home side battled hard to pick up a point. .
Philip Clement He will be disappointed that his side, who have now won one of their last four league games, were unable to maintain their defensive composure to prevent Hibernian from having the chance to score three times.
One player who failed to step up when they were needed most was goalkeeper Liam Kelly, who stands in for the ailing Jack Butland.
Liam Kelly's performance against Hibernian
The Scotland international, who kept a clean sheet against Celtic at Ibrox on Thursday, She conceded three goals of six shots on target against him on Sunday.
Martin Boyle's first goal for Hibernian was one the goalkeeper could do little about, as the winger fired a shot into the bottom corner with speed and power.
While it would be difficult to blame Kelly for not saving Puel's penalty, his role in Rocky Bushiri's late equalizer should be in question.
The Rangers goalkeeper stepped off his line in an attempt to clear the cross from a corner kick and did not approach the ball at all, allowing Bushiri to head the ball into an almost empty net.
Kelly's error contributed to Motherwell's third goal and saw the team lose two points, but one player who was worse than the backup goalkeeper was right-back Rizvan Yilmaz.
Ridvan Yilmaz's performance against Hibernian
The Turkish international has been deployed at right-back once again to replace the injured James Tavernier, and it will be difficult for him to play in his weaker side.
However, Yilmaz showed that he has what it takes to deliver a strong performance in the position as he impressed in the win over Celtic on Thursday in the position.
The left-footed defender's use of the ball against Hibernian was not ideal, as was his case He lost the ball 16 times In total. He stopped on the ball and waited too long to make the right decision on numerous occasions, much to the frustration of Vaclav Cerny at times.

As you can see in the table above, Yilmaz's performance level decreased significantly during the trip to face Hibs after an excellent display against Celtic, both in his defensive and offensive contributions.
The Turkish lightweight lost the majority of his physical duels in Sunday's draw, which helped the home side increase the pressure on Rangers in the second half, and he also lost the ball frequently.
Quite simply, Yilmaz let Klement down badly by allowing his performance level to decline as it did in his display against Celtic.
