Hibernian vs Rangers Betting Tips &— Rangers Win

The Rangers are traveling to Edinburgh with the knowledge that a victory at Easter Road could reduce Celtic’s lead to just five points. Although they are currently eight points behind the champions, they have two unplayed matches, making this a crucial game where they cannot afford to lose any points.

Since Belgian manager Phillipe Clement took over in October, Rangers have displayed excellent performance with 11 victories and only one defeat in 12 league games. Clement’s team comes into this game on the back of another victory, a 4:1 win against Dumbarton in the Scottish Cup.

The Gers have displayed a strong performance on the road this season, recording seven victories and only two defeats in 10 matches. Additionally, they’ve secured four wins in their last five away games against Hibernian since January 2021.

Hibernian, who are the hosts, did not secure a victory in their last three league matches (D1, L2) prior to a slim 1:0 win against Forfar in the Scottish Cup over the weekend. Currently, Hibs are in the sixth position in the Premiership, trailing the Gers by 21 points after 20 games.

Nick Montgomery’s team continues to show inconsistency at Easter Road. The team, based in Edinburgh, has a mixed record for this season’s home league matches, with three wins, three losses, and four draws out of ten games.

Ultimately, while the hosts are sure to make this a competitive affair, I expect Rangers to return to Glasgow with a vital three points in the bag. I’m backing the Gers in the WDW market with an expectation we could see a few goals in a likely engaging contest.
