The situation was even more difficult not so long ago, but in the last round, the Jerseys thrashed the Celts in the derby with a score of 3:0 and reduced the gap.

1.35Tip and bets
After the victory over Celtic, Rangers will clearly be in a very determined mood and will bet only on winning today. The Jerseys are capable of setting such goals for themselves – the visitors have a serious advantage in class and experience. Hibernian have recently played a number of strong matches, but against an opponent like Rangers, it will be difficult to build on their success; in the last round, Hibs barely managed to snatch a draw from the main outsider of the championship.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) on Rangers . This bet is offered with odds of 1.89
Bet on total
Rangers will certainly be in a very determined mood – if they make a mistake in today’s match, they risk nullifying their derby win in the last round and falling behind Celtic by a huge distance again. The Jerseys are impressive in attack and it’s unlikely that Hibernian has a chance to play to zero, but at the same time, Hibs have also been scoring regularly lately and have generally gained decent form, and the hosts are capable of responding with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.65
Bet on corners
Rangers are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
The bet is Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Rangers. This bet is offered for 1.79
