Glasgow Rangers face Hibernian tonight and will be in for one of their toughest matches of the season so far.

Neil Lennon’s side have been in mixed form, before winning their last two games in a row.

They beat Celtic 2-0 at the weekend and are full of confidence heading into tonight’s home fixture against Rangers.

Rangers benefitted from Celtic’s flop at the weekend, going back to the top of the table.

Hibernian’s performance will be giving Steven Gerrard some worry.

Striker Florian Kamberi made Celtic’s newly vaunted defence look bad, and Rangers will have to find the right defensive partnership to shut him out.

It would have been easier for Rangers this evening if Celtic had made light work of Hibs., dented their confidence and deflated the crowd.

Instead Rangers head to a ground which will be rocking especially if Hibs score early, and a team who know full well they can beat the best teams in the country.

Hibs have been inconsistent this season, currently sitting in eighth.

Rangers must play their own game and hope that it is just too much for Hibs to produce two outstanding back to back performances in the space of a week.
