📰 Team News: Hibernian

We think that The Hibees may well opt for a 3-4-3 system this time with Jordan Smith, Lewis Miller, Rocky Bushiri, Jack Iredale, Chris Cadden, Nectarios Triantis, Dylan Levitt, Jordan Obita, Martin Boyle, Mykola Kukharevych and Junior Hoilett.

📋 Team News: Rangers

It’s our belief that The Gers seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Jack Butland, James Tavernier, John Souttar, Leon Balogun, Jefte, Connor Barron, Nicolas Raskin, Vaclav Cerny, Mohamed Diomande, Hamza Igamane and Cyriel Dessers.

⚡ Prediction

We feel that Hibernian will have their work cut out to hit the back of the net against this Rangers side who we think will likely get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore predicting a very even contest with a 0-1 victory for Rangers at the end of the match.

Should be an interesting one.
