- Team form: Rangers have a strong home record in the Premiership Championship Round with 11 wins, 5 draws and only 2 defeats from 18 fixtures.
- Away record: Hibs have the same away record, 6-6-6, and have failed to win their last two visits to Ibrox.
- Head-to-head: Rangers have won three of the last five head-to-head meetings with Hibernian, who have not won any of those.
Rangers are the main men at home
Glasgow Rangers have the edge over Hibernian in all departments as third and fifth-placed sides in the 2026 Premiership Championship Round table with 69 points from 35 games and 54 points from 36 respectively. Danny Röhl has added more pressing intensity to Rangers’ game and also brought a more flexible tactical approach to his side, but they have still not clicked into the groove of his structured, possession-based system.
Rangers’ recent form reads three wins and two defeats in their last five games, with back-to-back losses in their two most recent matches. However, at Ibrox, they have won two and lost only one of their last three Premiership Championship Round fixtures.
Gray’s Hibees are a good bet to play their part
Form and approach
Hibs’ form has been just as inconsistent with two wins and three defeats in their last five, including a 3-1 victory at Falkirk in their most recent match that broke a two-game losing streak.
David Gray’s side have been much better on their travels this season, averaging 1.33 goals scored and 1.33 conceded per away game in the Championship Round. The Edinburgh club, which presses high and transitions quickly, are tough to break down, thanks to their compact back three, energetic wing-backs and tenacious pressing energy.
Odds and prediction
Rangers are heavy favorites at 1.37 while Hibs are long shots at 7.22 and the draw is offered at 5.2. However, we are taking the visitors to play their part in what the odds suggest will be a high-scoring affair, with over 2.5 goals available at 1.5.
Sterling can be the difference
Match context
Rangers are a better team at home, have the superior head-to-head record and have scored a whopping 38 goals in their 18 home games this term - an average of 2.11 per match. But Gray’s tactical bravery and willingness to commit numbers forward make Hibs a very strong bet to stay in the game, which could become a battle in the channels and on set pieces.
Key players
- Dujon Sterling is Rangers’ biggest attacking threat, but his contribution of one goal in two Championship Round matches gives a false impression of his value to the team. He has been their most dynamic player, providing drive from midfield and running at defences, which could be key to unlocking Hibs’ back three.
- Josh Campbell could be a contender for an anytime scorer because of his two goals in three Championship Round appearances. His ability to make late runs from midfield and his prowess from set pieces make him a constant threat against opponents that push up the pitch.
