Florian Kamberi said he could take little comfort from his own inspirational performance for Rangers after his team dropped more Ladbrokes Premiership points on Sunday. Rangers slipped 12 points behind Celtic after being held to a 2-2 draw against St Johnstone in Perth despite Kamberi’s heroics. The half-time substitute levelled with a brilliant volley inside…
Hibernian striker Florian Kamberi has described his loan switch to Rangers as a “dream move”. And the 24-year-old is looking forward to playing in front of the “best fans in the world” after swapping places with midfielder Greg Docherty, who has gone to Hibs on loan. Gers moved for the Swiss-born Albania international after losing…

Where Hibernian are in the Scottish Premiership is more important than being top of the goal-scoring charts, says Florian Kamberi.
The Swiss striker took his tally to six goals for the season with the opener in Hibs’ 3-0 win over Dundee, a week after scoring against Kilmarnock.
“I couldn’t be more happy,” Kamberi, 23, told BBC Scotland.
“Two wins in a row, six points and for myself it’s always nice to contribute with two goals.”
Kamberi initially joined on loan from Grasshoppers in January and scored nine goals in 14 appearances last season.
After making the move permanent this summer, he scored four times in Hibs’ Europa League qualifiers before enduring a month on the sidelines with a knee problem.
“I don’t want to say a target for goals this season,” said Kamberi.
“I just look game to game to produce a performance firstly to win and then hopefully to score as many as possible and to be successful as a team.
“If I have at the end of the season 20 goals that will be massive, but I would prefer better for the team to be high in the table than me on the top-scorer list.”

‘Massive game’ against Dons beckons
Hibs are third in the Premiership, five points behind leaders and Edinburgh rivals Hearts.
And head coach Neil Lennon described their performance in the 3-0 win over Dundee as “one of the most complete” in his time at the club.
Kamberi said: “The manager said at half-time we did well in the last 20 minutes of the first half, so we knew what to do second half.
“We knew if we could score one goal, we could score two or three against Dundee. We could have scored even more, I could have scored more – I hit the post and then had a chance with a header.
“But I think 3-0 is a good result and against other teams you maybe won’t have as many chances so we have to score with the chances that we get as much as possible.”
Kamberi now has his sights set on Aberdeen in Tuesday’s League Cup quarter-final at Easter Road. The striker scored in Hibs’ 2-0 win when the Dons visited the capital in February.
“The Dundee result is a boost to the confidence of the players going into a big cup game,” he said. “It’s a home game for us in front of our crowd which is a plus point for us.
“If you win this game you are then playing at Hampden in the semi-final, and then we are one win away from the final so it will be a massive game.”

Kamberi gives Hibs win in Killie thriller
Florian Kamberi’s penalty returned Hibernian to winning ways after an enthralling contest at Easter Road.
Stevie Mallan’s sweet free-kick – his seventh goal of the season – gave Hibs the ideal start and David Gray’s bullet header from a corner doubled the lead.
But Kilmarnock hit back impressively, Eamonn Brophy’s back-heeled finish completing a fine team move before Greg Stewart curled home a crisp equaliser.
Kamberi’s spot-kick earned Hibs the points after Jamie Maclaren was felled.
Victory – their first in the league since the opening-day – lifted Neil Lennon’s side above their opponents and into fifth place, still seven points behind Edinburgh rivals Hearts.
This was only a third defeat in 14 games on the road for Kilmarnock, who might have secured a point but substitute Kris Boyd’s late header was tipped over by Adam Bogdan.

Mallan aims to emulate McGinn at Hibs [2]
Mallan the man for a free-kick
Mallan was asked on Friday about becoming known as a free-kick specialist. He said he would “embrace” that label, adding “you always want to be known for something. All the top players are known for certain traits”.
Head coach Lennon set him a double-figure target for goals this season, but that will swiftly have to be revised with his sublime strike here – from around 27 yards – his seventh of the season, and his fourth direct from a free-kick.
The 22-year-old also spoke openly about his ambition to follow former team-mate John McGinn into the senior set-up, and his desire to score more goals from open play.
Mallan nearly added to his tally with another long-range effort in the first half that drifted narrowly wide, and was even closer with a similar strike early on the resumption.
Certainly national manager Alex McLeish will note the confidence coursing through the former St Mirren midfielder, who is flourishing again after a disappointing spell with Barnsley in the English Championship last season.
Another player enjoying a new lease of life is Stewart, who appears to be enjoying life at Kilmarnock after arriving on a season-long loan from Birmingham.
Stewart, 28, has had a couple of underwhelming seasons at first the Midlands club, and then on loan at Aberdeen last term.
But there were signs here of the form he showed in a productive spell at Dundee before his move south.
An early driving run saw him beat two players on the edge of the box before firing into the side-netting.
But he had a hand in the visitors’ opener, his lay-off feeding the marauding Stephen O’Donnell, whose first-time cross was back-heeled over the line by Brophy.
Brophy might have had a second when Bogdan saved with his feet, but Stewart’s equaliser was a thing of beauty, looking up and curling a sweet shot left-footed into the top corner.
