Two stats now underline why the current Rangers side are the worst in the entire history of Ibrox.
Rangers lost 2-0 to Hibs in Govan on Saturday as goals from Dylan Levitt and Martin Boyle secured three Premiership points for the Edinburgh visitors.
Levitt scored after eight minutes when his sweetly struck long-range effort squirmed underneath an out-of-form Jack Butland to make it 1-0.
Rangers were hopeless throughout the encounter as they never really troubled an organised and disciplined Hibs team.
Barry Ferguson’s misery was compounded in the second-half when Boyle’s goal was awarded by VAR after it was initially ruled out for offside.
It was another embarrassing afternoon in Govan and it has unearthed two staggering stats that no Rangers side wants attached to them.

Rangers concede two goals in six consecutive league games
Rangers News told you earlier on Saturday morning that Rangers risked equalling an unwanted feat that was first set all the way back in 1894.
That was 131 years ago when Rangers conceded two goals in six consecutive Scottish top-flight league games.
With defeat against Motherwell in Rangers’ last Premiership clash at Ibrox, they moved onto five games in a row conceding at least two goals in each.
Hibs have now made that six games today and a new record could be set on Thursday night in the Europa League when Athletic Club come to Glasgow.
Rangers lose fifth consecutive game at Ibrox
And the next stat concerns consecutive defeats at Ibrox, where Rangers have played their home games since 1887.
Before losing 2-0 to Hibs, no Rangers team had ever lost five games in a row at Ibrox across all competitions. That is now a reality.
And as mentioned above, that could turn to six if Rangers can’t conjure up a stunning Europa League result against Athletic Club this coming week.
Ferguson was absolutely raging in his post-match BBC interview after losing to Hibs and vowed to make changes for the Europa League quarter-final first leg.
He also outed Jack Butland’s performance after the goalkeeper was solely at fault for Hibs’ first goal. That casts doubt over the Englishman’s selection against Athletic Club with Liam Kelly waiting in the wings.
