Hibernian vs Rangers Prediction and Betting Tips | January 5th 2025

The action continues in round 22 of the Scottish Premiership as Hibernian and Rangers go head-to-head at the Easter Road Stadium on Sunday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results in their first outing of the new year, with Philippe Clement’s men claiming an emphatic victory in the Old Firm derby.

Hibernian were denied a winning start to the new year as they could only salvage a 1-1 draw against 10-man St. Johnstone on Thursday. Before that, David Gray’s side were on a four-game winning streak, including a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Hearts at Tynecastle Park on Boxing Day.

Hibernian have picked up 25 points from their 21 Premiership games to sit seventh in the league standings but could move into fifth place with all three points this weekend.

Rangers, on the other hand, turned in a performance of the highest quality as they thrashed Celtic in the Old Firm derby on Thursday. Clement’s men are now unbeaten in eight of their last nine matches, picking up six wins and two draws since the start of November.

With 39 points from 19 matches, Rangers are currently second in the league standings, 11 points adrift of rivals Celtics at the top of the pile.
