Paatelainen watched Hibs put up a good fight against Rangers

Hibernian boss Mixu Paatelainen was full of praise for his players after the 0-0 draw at home to Rangers.

"It was a fantastic football match, really entertaining stuff," the Finn told BBC Sport.

"I felt we put in a full-hearted effort. We were very positive, played with a compact midfield and put Rangers under pressure.

"We had a good go and we will be ready to go again next week. We are still fighting for third place."

Hibs remain in fifth place but just three points cover the four teams chasing Uefa Cup qualification.

Paatelainen's side travel to Celtic Park next Sunday and finish the season at home to Motherwell, who currently occupy third spot.
