Goals either side of half-time from Dylan Levitt and Martin Boyle secure Hibs' first win at Ibrox since February 2018.
David Gray's side are now 16 unbeaten in the league and they were superb.
Rangers on the other hand were dismal. They have gone 2-0 behind in six of their past eight matches and have lost their past five home games.

Image source, SNSA vital victory for Kilmarnock against 10-man Motherwell, whose top six hopes will be over if Hearts beat Dundee United tomorrow.
Fraser Murray forced Killie in front, and then came the controversial moment when Kofi Balmer was sent off for a challenge on Murray after VAR intervened.
From that moment on Kilmarnock completely dominated, and Joe Wright headed in their second goal after the break.
Motherwell briefly thought they were going to have to play 25 minutes with nine men, but Dom Thompson's sending off for a tangle with Danny Armstrong was rescinded after another on-field review.
Nonetheless, it is a painful loss for Michael Wimmer's side, and a boost for Derek McInnes' Killie.

BBC Scotland at Ibrox
Ibrox is nearly empty as the clock ticks down. The Hibs fans don't want the afternoon to end, of course. They're about to celebrate their first win here since February 2018 and have been chanting the names of both managers, David Gray's in appreciation, Barry Ferguson's in mockery.
For the home boss, he has to hope his first win here will come against Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League quarters. It's a record-breaking fifth consecutive home defeat for Rangers. If Celtic beat St Johnstone tomorrow, they could clinch the title at home to Kilmarnock next Saturday
Shayden Morris' first-half solo strike proves to be the winner.
There was always a feeling that Aberdeen would be able to keep County out, with the hosts in poor form, and the Dons' one goal was enough.
County only really had one good chance, right at the end through Ronan Hale, but when the ball whizzed wide most home fans knew that was that.

LOTS of empty seats at Ibrox, with Rangers heading for a fifth successive home defeat.
Ross County 0-1 Aberdeen
That should have been that for Aberdeen. Oday Dabbagh almost went one-on-one but just couldn't work the ball past the final defender.
County go up the other end and Ross Doohan denies Ronan Hale from close range. The ball pops out to Hale again, but he slashes just wide, with Jordan White inches away from helping it in.
A big three points for Dundee and they move eight points clear of Scottish Premiership bottom side St Johnstone, who host runaway leaders Celtic tomorrow.

Chris Mochrie
A second goal of the afternoon for Chris Mochrie and that takes the Diamonds three points behind Dunfermline at the foot of the Championship.
We're creeping into stoppage time across the grounds. Still time for some drama.
Rangers 0-2 Hibernian
Nicolas Raskin goes close for Rangers, but Rocky Bushiri does brilliantly to get back and clear off the line.
There's a brief VAR check for a potential handball by Hibs defender Jack Iredale, but nothing is given and the visitors survive.

This one went in a few minutes ago...

Dundee 2-0 St Mirren
Half-time substitute Toyosi Olusanya's downward shot is turned out by Dundee goalkeeper Trevor Carson and, from the corner, Simon Murray heads a dangerous delivery clear.
Very much a team effort from the Dark Blues this afternoon.
Kilmarnock 2-0 Motherwell
What's going on here? Motherwell goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe has just run down the tunnel. After a delay, he races back on to the park.
No idea what that was about. A call of nature? Anyhoo, play goes on and he makes a smart stop at his near post.
Rangers 0-2 Hibernian
Jack Butland es the ball straight to Hibs midfielder Josh Campbell.
The Rangers goalkeeper's confidence looks completely shot.
Rangers 0-2 Hibernian
That's 16 goals for Martin Boyle this season, which makes it his best return in all of his years at Hibs.

Ross County 0-1 Aberdeen
Aberdeen's Leighton Clarkson goes close with what would have been a second screamer in two weeks.
Some 25 yards out, he hits a swerving effort that goes just over the bar.
Rangers 0-2 Hibernian
Hibs slice Rangers open again, but this time Jack Butland parries Martin Boyle's fierce shot to safety.
What a performance this has been from David Gray's side.
Dundee 2-0 St Mirren
St Mirren come so close from a corner, with Richard Taylor's header from Scott Tanser's delivery rebounding off the crossbar.
Martin Boyle
He was onside after all.
It was a neat finish too, right through the legs of Jack Butland.
Martin Boyle doubled Hibernian's lead in the second half
Hibernian extended their unbeaten Scottish Premiership streak to 16 games and condemned Rangers to a record fifth consecutive home defeat as Barry Ferguson's haphazard Ibrox side continued their chaotic campaign.
Dylan Levitt and Martin Boyle scored in each half for the division's form team the first after a wretched Jack Butland error and the second following a VAR review - to give them a first win in Govan since February 2018.
It means interim manager Ferguson is still without a home win in three games since succeeding Philippe Clement after Rangers conceded twice for the sixth domestic game in a row – something they had not done in 131 years.
The triumph ensures Hibs remain third with six games of the season left and they were well worth their victory, with some terrific defending denying Rangers any kind of foothold in the game.
"Every time there was a slight mistake, a team-mate was there to bail them out," said head coach David Gray. "It was a massive collective performance.
"It's an incredible run and the players deserve all the credit for it. It's been a huge collective effort."
Levitt's firmly struck early opener squirmed away from Butland, while Boyle's fine breakaway goal - from Jordan Obita's - was allowed to stand after the VAR officials confirmed he was onside after bursting from his own half.
Before Hibs' second, substitute Nedim Bajrami thought he had equalised for Rangers but watched a magnificent attempt come crashing back off the bar.
Cyriel Dessers, again, ed up a hat-trick of first-half chances, forcing a good save from Jordan Smith before twice blasting over when well placed.
The striker also seemed certain to score 10 minutes from time but failed to make from close range.
It was not the preparation Rangers would have wanted with Athletic Bilbao heading to Ibrox on Europa League duty on Thursday.
Not for the first time, Rangers were left to rue missed chances, with Dessers again the main culprit.
He could easily have had four goals. He emerged instead with none.
It's also far from the first time Rangers have been exposed at the back. Butland made another mistake and there were too many open spaces for Hibs' front men to expose, Boyle in particular relishing the freedom for the second, decisive goal.
The Jekyll and Hyde season continues for Rangers.
Excellent away from Ibrox lately, unconvincing in front of their own fans, and now with the unwanted distinction of being the first team in the history of the club to lose five in a row at Ibrox.
Hibs' season goes from strength to strength. They have won 11 of the 16 matches in their unbeaten run and show no sign of slowing, having been bottom in December.
This is their first win at Ibrox since February 2018, when John McGinn and Jamie Maclaren were on the scoresheet.
They were solid at the back, with Rocky Bushiri particularly impressive in the way he subdued Dessers, and they also excelled in midfield, with Nectarios Triantis a model of composure and quality, ably assisted by Levitt, who got the ball rolling.
Hibs were a constant threat on the break, sitting in a solid defensive shape before utilising their strength and pace up top to hurt Rangers time and time again.
It is a result and performance which will give David Gray every confidence his side can maintain third spot and give European football a good crack next season.
Ferguson 'raging' with Rangers performance
Rangers interim manager Barry Ferguson: "Angry, really angry in fact - that's the most simple way I can put it. There's no way I'm accepting that.
"I'm not going to kid anybody on. Hibs deserved it. They tackled harder, ran harder and wanted it more.
"This [season] is in real danger of just petering out. It's about pride. I know we're in the Europa League, but those are easy games to get up for."
Hibernian head coach David Gray: "The way we started was huge, the composure we showed and getting the goal.
"The big thing was trusting what we were doing. I never stopped believing.
"If we keep winning games, nobody can catch us and that's the mindset."
