Rangers take on the visitors Hibernian in the round 17 match of Scottish Premiership. The match will be played on Thursday, December 15th at Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow).
Rangers seem to be trying to regain their success by returning to the recent past. Michael Beal was appointed as the new mentor. It would seem, why call an experienced specialist in Glasgow, but at the same time almost did not work independently (it all comes down to the last couple of months, since the summer, in the Championship with QPR)? In fact, everything is obvious: the Englishman assisted Gerrard, including in Scotland. And involved in the championship title, which was finally taken with Stephen. With van Bronkhorst there were positive moments: the final of the Europa League last spring, the group stage of the Champions League in the fall. But, firstly, they lost the trophy to Eintracht on penalties, and failed in the main continental tournament. Even in the Premiership, they could not compete with Celtic. Especially seriously managed to lag behind in the current draw - by 9 points in 15 rounds. It is clear that this is actually impossible to win back, but the resignation of the Dutchman was expected.

Hibernian took the championship title more than once - however, it was a very long time ago. But in the cup, for example, the extreme success dates back to 2016. And last year it turned out to play in the final, however, it all ended in defeat. Yes, and in European competitions, the Scots in the same 2021 year once again started, albeit without lingering there again. However, last season was unsuccessful for the glorious team. They finished the season in 8th position with a modest 45 points. And they could not add even now, in the new championship, already under the leadership of Lee Johnson, the ex-manager of Sunderland. The asset has only 20 points after 16 matches, and most of them were taken in September-October, when it turned out to record 4 wins in a row. After that, there were 6 defeats in 7 fights, however, with a pleasant exception in the form of a 3-0 against St. Mirren. And the fans can only hope that a month-long pause has benefited team’s form.
Rangers are expected to have many head-to-head victories. True, in the last of them, already in August of this year, “Hibernian” brought home to a draw 2-2. We bounced back in the 92nd minute after Morelos managed to get a “red”. Intrigues are not expected here, especially since the “Rangers” will debut a new mentor. We recommend betting that the hosts will be able to win this match in Glasgow with a handicap of “-1.5 goals scored”.
Prediction for the match: Rangers to win with -1.5 handicap.
