I'm sticking with Hibs after landing a 2.88 double on them against Dundee Utd last week – another Hibs angle looks worth backing.

Despite making a dreadful start to the season, Rangers are heavy 1.75 favourites with Hibernian big outsiders at 3.95, while the 90 minute draw is trading at 4.1.

Hibernian Double Chance @ 1.64

I backed Hearts on the Double Chance at Ibrox last weekend and I’m more than happy to side with Hibernian to avoid defeat on Saturday evening. Not only have Hibs yet to taste defeat in this season’s Scottish Premiership, but they also performed well during their attempts to qualify for both the Europa League and the Europa Conference League. In fact, David Gray’s side held FC Midtjylland to a draw in Denmark, not to mention they claimed impressive wins away at both Partizan Belgrade and Legia Warsaw inside 90 minutes.

With that in mind, the Hibees look more than capable of inflicting more misery on a Rangers side that are looking bereft of confidence and belief.

Over 1.5 Hibernian Goals @ 2.76

Not only am I keen to keep Hibernian onside at Ibrox on Saturday evening, I’m also prepared to back them to score two or more goals at an attractive price. David Gray’s side have scored multiple goals in three of their four Scottish Premiership matches this season, not to mention they struck twice away at Livingston in the previous round. 

What’s more, the Hibees delivered over 1.5 team goals away at both Partizan Belgrade and Legia Warsaw when on continental duty earlier this season. 

That doesn’t bode well for a Rangers side that have conceded a minimum of two goals in three of their last four home games, including last week’s 2-0 loss when hosting Hearts.

🔵 Wretched Start for Rangers

Rangers have made their worst start to a league campaign since 1947. The Glasgow giants are now without a win in five Scottish Premiership matches this season, suffering their first league defeat of the campaign when falling to a 2-0 defeat at home to Hearts last Saturday. 

To make matters worse, Rangers have only managed to score 3 goals across their opening five top-flight games of the season, blanking in each of their last two outings at Ibrox. 

As such, manager Russell Martin is under intense pressure after making such an unimpressive start to life in the Light Blues dugout. 

Rangers have been picking up a lot more bookings than usual this season, collecting more cards than their opponents in four of their five Scottish Premiership matches this term.


🟢 Hibs Looking to Halt Run of Draws

While Hibernian have made a steady enough start to the season, I suspect that they may be slightly disappointed not to have more points on the board. After kicking off their campaign with a 2-1 win at Dundee, David Gray’s side have played out three successive draws in the Scottish Premiership when hosting Kilmarnock, St Mirren and Dundee United.   

The Hibees racked up 27 shots during last Saturday’s 3-3 draw with Dundee United, with 11 of those efforts hitting the target. 

Hibs’ failure to convert draws into wins this season can be attributed to their lack of clean sheets, with the capital club failing to silence their opponents in each of their four top-flight outings this term.


📊 Rangers v Hibernian H2H

Hibernian were a regular thorn in Rangers’ side last season, avoiding defeat in three of the four meetings between the pair, including each of the previous three. 

Rangers’ solitary victory over Hibs last season arrived in the first of last term’s four encounters courtesy of a 1-0 win at Ibrox. David Gray’s team managed to avenge that loss when they returned to Glasgow later in the season, running out 2-0 winners on that occasion. 

The two teams also played out a pair of barnstorming draws at Easter Road last season, including a 3-3 thriller in January before sharing the spoils in an action-packed 2-2 draw on the final day of the campaign.
