Hibernian v Rangers - Premier Sports Cup
Hibernian and Rangers will meet in the Scottish Premiership on Thursday

Scottish Premiership action returns this week as Rangers will entertain Hibernian at the Ibrox Stadium on Thursday.

Rangers are in second place in the league table with 33 points from 15 games. They are undefeated in their last two league games and in their last game before the international break, they played out a 1-1 draw against St. Mirren.

They played a friendly game against Bayer Leverkusen last week, with goals from Scott Arfield and Malik Tillman helping them to a 3-0 win.

Hibernian have endured a relatively poor start to their league campaign and have lost three games in a row. They played a couple of friendlies in the international break and in their previous outing, defeated Raith Rovers 1-0.

Rangers vs Hibernian Prediction

The Gers have a solid record against the visitors and are the favorites at home. They looked sharp in their friendly game against Bayer Leverkusen and will be looking to leave a good account of themselves in new manager Michael Beale's first official game.

Hibernian have suffered defeats in their last four away games, scoring just two goals in that period, and might struggle here. They have not been able to defeat the Glasgow giants in a league game since 2018 and we are backing the hosts to eke out a narrow win here.

Prediction: Rangers 2-1 Hibernian
