The Rangers fans here in the Transfer Tavern are nervous ahead of tonight’s trip to Easter Road to play bitter rivals Hibernian. Indeed, while the Gers are on a good run of form, they haven’t won a big game against either Celtic or Hibs for a while now. 

To be fair, the Light Blues recently beat another big rival in the shape of Aberdeen, though their overall record against the Hibees of late hasn’t been good. The Leith giants have won the last three games against their Glaswegian counterparts, including the infamous Scottish Cup final back in 2016.

However, interim boss Graeme Murty looks to have turned a corner of late and the Ibrox side have won three games in a row for the first time in months.

Still, a Hibs-Rangers game under the floodlights at Easter Road is always likely to be a feisty affair and the players are going to need a big performance to beat Neil Lennon’s men. With that in mind, here’s a look at two of them.

Ross McCrorie

The young defender has been one of the club’s shining lights this season after being introduced into the side by Pedro Caixinha due an injury crisis earlier in the campaign. Indeed, the 19-year-old has looked assured in the first-team, though certainly has a big task on his hands tonight.

With Simon Murray and John McGinn impressing of late, he’ll need to be on top form. Considering the latter’s late runs into the box, the talented teen needs to ensure he’s not overrun.

Wes Foderingham

The goalkeeper is somewhat shaky on crosses, something Hibs have made the most of in the past. Having enjoyed success when loading the box before, you can bet your bottom dollar that Lennon will be telling his team to try and focus on the shot-stopper, with threats such as Anthony Stokes lurking.
