Rangers conceded their first Scottish Premiership goals of the season but move top despite being held to a gripping draw by Hibernian in Leith.

Drey Wright stabbed Hibs ahead after 22 minutes, inflicting Rangers' first domestic concession since 4 March.

Alfredo Morelos poked the visitors level on the stroke of half-time and Scott Arfield fired them in front.

Christian Doidge nodded in for Hibs but Ofir Marciano had to brilliantly deny Arfield late on with a double-save.

The Israeli goalkeeper twice stopped the Canada international from point-blank range after the midfielder was sent scurrying through on goal amid a Rangers onslaught.

Steven Gerrard's side move a point clear of second-placed Celtic having played a game more, while Hibs remain a berth further back.

The US space agency (Nasa) has formally outlined its $28bn (£22bn) plan to return to the Moon by 2024.

As part of a programme called Artemis, Nasa will send a man and a woman to the lunar surface in the first landing with humans since 1972.

But the agency's timeline is contingent on Congress releasing $3.2bn for building a landing system.

Astronauts will travel in an Apollo-like capsule called Orion that will launch on a powerful rocket called SLS.
