Stadium: Ibrox
Rangers and Hibs have not met since the 2016 Scottish Cup final and Saturday’s Premiership clash will give the Glasgow side a belated chance to avenge that 3-2 loss.
Both teams will go into the Ibrox fixture high on confidence after strong recent results, but the Gers are rated a cut above following a summer rebuilding programme.
We’re on the hosts at 17/10 to be leading at half-time and full-time in our Rangers vs Hibs betting predictions.
Rangers have recovered well from an embarrassing early Europa League exit, putting in some useful friendly displays and starting the domestic campaign with a couple of victories.
Graham Dorrans’ double helped them edge out Motherwell in the Premiership at Fir Park and then Dunfermline were hammered 6-0 in the League Cup on Wednesday night.
Colombian youngster Alfredo Morelos bagged a brace in that rout, while Bruno Alves and Daniel Candeias were other fresh signings to get on the scoresheet.
The feelgood factor has returned to Ibrox and Pedro Caixinha commented: “I really enjoyed it – really pleased with the quality, commitment, pace and rhythm. The leadership was also good, controlling the game.”
Looking at the Rangers vs Hibs odds, 19/10 for the home team to win by more than one goal takes the eye.
Neil Lennon has improved the professionalism at Hibs and they have maintained the momentum gained from last season’s rock-solid Championship title success.
A whopping 18 goals have been scored in four League Cup wins following Tuesday’s 5-0 thrashing of Ayr, while they returned to Premiership action with a 3-1 defeat of Partick.
Lennon was especially pleased with how his side reacted to going behind early on against Thistle, declaring: “They’re a youngish side at this level but they showed great maturity and quality.”
Whether the Edinburgh outfit is quite ready to compete in a cauldron such as Ibrox is the big question, though.
We think this might be too much, too soon in their development and are taking 8/5 for a home win and over 2.5 goals in our Rangers vs Hibs betting tips.
