Hibernian vs Rangers Prediction
The hosts will have a hard time overcoming the challenge of Rangers this week. Their past record in this fixture is barely impressive and will not give them much optimism.
Rangers not only have a better squad at their disposal (amidst the injuries), but they also have better form at the moment.
Rangers will be looking to gain some early momentum which is crucial in this division and may ultimately decide the winner. With Celtic confronting the challenge of Hearts, Rangers may sense an opportunity to catapult themselves ahead this weekend.
Rangers are the odds-on favorites to clinch the win.
