📰 Team News: Hibernian

Martin Boyle (Knee Surgery) and Aiden McGeady (Hamstring Injury) will not be able to play for Hibernian manager Lee Johnson.

We are thinking that The Hibees will probably use a 4-1-4-1 formation featuring David Marshall, CJ Egan-Riley, Will Fish, Paul Hanlon, Lewis Stevenson, James Jeggo, Chris Cadden, Josh Campbell, Joe Newell, Élie Youan and Kevin Nisbet.

🗞️ Team News: Rangers

Rangers manager Michael Beale has some current player fitness concerns. Nnamdi Ofoborh (Heart Condition), Kemar Roofe (Knee Injury), Malik Tillman (Hamstring Injury), Tom Lawrence (Achilles tendon problems) and Steven Davis (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) miss out here.

It’s our belief that The Gers seem most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Robby McCrorie, James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, John Souttar, Ridvan Yilmaz, John Lundstram, Ryan Jack, Todd Cantwell, Nicolas Raskin, Rabbi Matondo and Fashion Sakala.

✨ Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Hibernian will have to play well to register a score against this Rangers lineup who we reckon will be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

That’s why we have predicted a very competitive game with a 0-1 victory for Rangers at the conclusion of the game.

Should be interesting.
