Well Jack Ross's post match comments had a "resigned feel" about it TBF. And he said he thought Hibs had "no spark" about them, all huff n puff stuff, and just looked happy to move on to the next fixture. So logically one has to relate that to a legitimate reason why they suddenly played out such a flat performance v a team that was at the foot of the Scot Prem for good reason. Also note John Hughes was forced to change 2 x suspended players, he altered various positions due to injury and for tactical reasons. So he didn't have the same team as fielded in his last two fixtures. IMO I thought Hibs "put in a big shift" at Ibronx to hold Rangers and, in fact, pushed them back in the last quarter of that match in shit conditions and, on another day, may well have attained a good result. Note Jack Ross didn't really freshen up that Hibs team significantly either in order to just give certain players a rest.
