Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Livingston, Rangers will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Hibernian at Eater Road. The Gers are determined to defend their Premiership trophy, but the game against Hibernian will be anything but a walk in the park for the reigning champions. Kemar Roofe and Leon Balogun remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting team.
The Hibs, on the other hand, are still without suspended duo Martin Boyle and Christian Doidge. Hibernian, though, aim to build on a 2-1 win over St Johnstone, and seeing that they are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on draw. When the two teams met in the League Cup in November Hibernian did well to eliminate Rangers at Ibrox Stadium, which is yet another reason why we predict that the hosts are going to grab something from the midweek fixture.

Highlighted Team (Rangers):
Glasgow Rangers are one of the two synonyms for Scottish Football. Glasgow Rangers were founded back in 1872 and they have been playing an important role in the Scottish top flight ever since. The Gers won their 54th Scottish Premier League title in the 2010/2011 season, but winning of European Cup Winners’ Cup trophy in 1972 is considered the club’s biggest success.
Glasgow Rangers defeated Dynamo Moscow in the final of the competition, with the likes of Stein and Johnston (two goals) scoring for the Scottish side. Celtic are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two teams meet in the Old Firm derby. The likes of Paul Gascoigne, David Weir, Stefan Klos, Chris Boyd, Ian Durrant and Kenny Miller are some of Rangers’ former notable players.
It has to be noted that the Gers welcome their rivals at Ibrox Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 50,817. Rangers’ support is largely drawn from the Protestant Unionist community.
