Scottish champions Rangers aren’t having as smooth a campaign as they had last season but are still favorites to win the Premiership title again. They will play host to Hibernian on Match Day 8 with the two sides seeking three points that would take them to the top of the standings. Rangers go to the game second in the standings, on 16 points while Hibernian are third on 15 points. Rangers are coming from another loss in Europa League action, falling 1-0 away to Sparta Prague, a result that brought to an end a two-game winning run. They have two clean sheets in the last three matches and goo to this game unbeaten in their last five league games. They are struggling domestically as much as in Europe and head to this encounter having lost just one of their last 46 league games. They haven’t trailed at half time in their last five matches and actually led in three at the halfway point.

Hibernian have three straight losses against Rangers and are winless in 12 meetings. This is a run they will; be looking to stop, and going to Glasgow unbeaten in the last seven matches is a perfect starting point. The visitors are coming from a 1-0 win over St. Johnstone – their third clean sheet in five matches, and they’ve scored two or more in three of the last five. They have three wins in the last five matches ahead of this but away from home, Hibernian aren’t the strongest; they have just a win in the last four on their travels.
