Prediction: 2-2
Rangers
The ground at Easter Road will shake when Hibernian and Rangers go head to head in the Premiership derby on Wednesday evening. The Hibs have been producing excellent performances of late, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, but Rangers will pose a much bigger threat for the home side than their previous rivals. A man to watch in the home team will be Thody Elie Youan, who scored a brace in a 4-1 win over Livingston, whereas both Bushiri and Boyle remain in the treatment room.
The Gers, on the other hand, aim to melt Celtic’s advantage in the Premier League standings, and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. All Yilmaz, Ofoborh, Lawrence, Helander, and Davis should miss out with injuries, speaking of the away team, while both Alfredo Morelos and John Lundstram are pushing for recalls to the starting line-up.
Highlighted Player (Scott Arfield):
Despite being born in Dechmont, Scotland, Scott Arfield represents Canada on the international stage. Arfield, though, played for Scotland U19 and U21 teams in the past and he made one appearance for Scotland B as well. Scott’s father, though, was born in Toronto, Canada and that is the main reason why he decided to play for the Canada national football team.
The Burnley midfielder made his Canada debut on March 25, 2016 in a 3-0 loss to Mexico. Scott Arfield began his club career at Falkirk and he scored 13 goals in 108 appearances in the league for the Scottish club. In 2010 he signed a deal with Huddersfield Town and he played for the Terriers from until 2013.
As previously mentioned, Arfield currently wear’s Burnley shirt, meaning that he is enjoying the Premier League football. You should bear in mind that the Scottish midfielder netted one goal for Burnley in the 2016/2017 season. He found the net in a 2-1 win over Everton on October 10, 2016.

The Hibs wear light green shirts with white sleeves and white shorts in home matches, while light grey is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Hibernian clinched their first Scottish league trophy back in the 1902/03 season, and they were the dominant force in Scottish football in the early 50s, securing three titles more from 1948 to 1952.
