Hibernian preview: Solid start of the season
After the first nine rounds of the Scottish Premiership, Hibernian find themselves third in the standings. Furthermore, they've now won twice in a row in the league after five games without a victory before that, so they enter their next match with Rangers high on confidence.
Meanwhile, Joe Newell and Alasana Manneh will miss this match with injuries, while Warren O'Hora is questionable.
Predicted lineup: Sallinger (GK), Kiranga, Hanley, Iredale, C. Cadden, Mulligan, Barlaser, N. Cadden, McGrath, Bowie & Klidje
Last five matches
- Aberdeen 1-2 Hibernian (Premiership)
- Hibernian 4-0 Livingston (Premiership)
- Hearts 1-0 Hibernian (Premiership)
- Celtic 0-0 Hibernian (Premiership)
- Falkirk 1-1 Hibernian (Premiership)
Rangers preview: Trying to find their best form
With just one win in their last five games in all competitions, Rangers haven't been performing well lately and they are currently fifth in the Scottish Premiership standings. Luckily for them, their main rivals Celtic haven't done much better either, so Rangers can still get involved in the title race if they can string together a few wins.
When it comes to team news, Dujon Sterling and Rabbi Matondo are out with injuries.
Predicted lineup: Butland (GK), Tavernier, Souttar, Cornelius, Gassama, Raskin, Diomande, Aasgaard, Meghoma, Danilo & Miovski
Last five matches
- Rangers 3-1 Kilmarnock (Premiership)
- Brann 3-0 Rangers (Europa League)
- Rangers 2-2 Dundee Utd (Premiership)
- Falkirk 1-1 Rangers (Premiership)
- Sturm Graz 2-1 Rangers (Europa League)
Player to watch: James Tavernier
The experienced English right-back has been leading Rangers for a decade now as the team's captain and often their best player and this season is no different since Tavernier is currently their top scorer with four goals in the league.
While having a right-back as your top scorer speaks volumes about Rangers' form this season, Tavernier is a reliable penalty taker and can also find the net from free kicks as well, so keep an eye on him on Wednesday.
