Rangers vs Hibernian Tips and Prediction
Rangers had a disappointing start to the 2022–23 season and will be hoping that new manager Michael Beale will give the team fresh life in the upcoming months.
Rangers finished second in the Scottish Premiership, nine points behind rival Celtic, with just two wins in seven attempts across all competitions prior to the World Cup break. This included dropped points in the league and some devastating losses in Europe.
Following this, Giovanni van Bronckhorst was fired, which allowed late last month for the appointment of Beale from Queens Park Rangers.
However, Rangers’ main action begins on Thursday, when a victory might briefly close the gap between them and Celtic, who play at Aberdeen on Saturday.
As they prepare to travel to Glasgow, Hibernian, who has had a very patchy league record this year, are currently in seventh place.
Despite having a strong start to the season, the Hibees have only won one of their previous five league games and must start winning to keep in the running for continental status.
The fact that top player Ryan Porteous will not be signing a new contract at Easter Road has also shocked them during the break, and Hibernian may be tempted to trade him in January rather than risk losing him for nothing in the summer.
Hibernian have participated in friendlies against Middlesbrough and Raith Rovers as they step up their preparation for the return of the Scottish Premiership, allowing Johnson to gauge the team’s fitness.
Due to their divisional rivals’ lack of weekend play, Hibernian might go as high as fourth in the league standings if they earn three points on Thursday.
Conclusion
We anticipate a close game that will most likely be decided by narrow margins as both teams fight for an essential victory in a game with many possible outcomes.
Rangers will perform well enough this time to earn the three points and close the gap on leaders Celtic, who play on Saturday, to six points.
