Rangers vs Hibernian: Team News and Expert Analysis
The historic Glasgow giants have recently been consistently second behind their city rivals. But this season they had a particularly poor start. Brugge denied the Scots a place in the Champions League, and they earned only four points in the main round of the Europa League. In the Premiership, they beat only the main outsider, Livingston, in the first eight rounds. They also lost to Celtic in both cup competitions. However, they managed to overtake Celtic in the Premiership, picking up momentum after a coaching change. Still, the regular season was won by Hearts, although their advantage was shrinking. In the head-to-head meeting with the surprise leaders, however, Rangers lost again in the Old Firm Derby and are now out of the title race.
The club from Edinburgh finished third last season. But like other Scottish teams, they faltered in European competitions: losing to the first opponent, Midtjylland, in the Europa League qualifiers, and after being knocked out by Partizan in the Conference League, they also lost to Legia. In the Premiership, their performance dropped, finishing fifth in the first stage of the season and losing consecutively in April, including to Celtic in May. Only Falkirk were beaten in their last outing.
The runners-up have shown good stats—scoring 1.94 goals per game and conceding nearly half as much, 1.08. The Edinburgh side have 1.56 goals scored and 1.17 conceded on average.
