Hibs were top of the league and looked in a dominant mood when Ryan Gauld and Oli Shaw put them 2-0 up inside the first 10 minutes.

Glenn Middleton then scored twice before half-time and Kelly netted the winner with his free-kick towards the end of the game.

The 18-year-old admitted that he has been practising free-kicks with coach Graeme Smith.

He told the Rangers official website: “Yesterday after training I got Big Smiddy [Grame Smith] to set up the wall in the exact same area, and it was curling in then, and luckily it went in off the post and I am delighted with it.”

Rangers fans swarmed to social media to share their admiration for Kelly’s inch-perfect free-kick. Here are some of the best tweets from Gers fans after watching Kelly’s free-kick goal.
