Scottish League Cup - Rangers vs Hibernian Football betting preview

Scottish FA Cup

At first glance is might seem like a stupid bet, And to be fair in could well turn out to be a stupid bet!!!!

Im going to have a little tickle on Hibernian to upset the odds against Rangers today in this Scottish FA Cup replay.

Why??

Well, Personally i can see this as a game the Rangers could well do without, On Thursday Rangers produced a great performance and now hold a 2-0 lead going into the UEFA Cup 2nd leg away at Werder Bremen next Thursday (13th). Playing on Thursday and Sunday is never ideal and im sure Rangers will make a few changes to the starting xi ahead of the Hibernian game. Its also worth remembering that Hibernian have recorded a victory at Ibrox already this season in the league, That 1-0 victory ironically came 3 days after Rangers recorded a wonderful European victory over Lyon, Could history repeat itself today??

Hibernian themselves have turned the corner of late, A run of 4 victories on the spin was ended last time out against Celtic but other than that they are in pretty good nick.

Hibernian certainly come into this game as the fresher side they have played in 5 less matches that Rangers since the turn of the year and i just feel they will put up a good show today.

At 11.0 Hibernian are going to get a little bit of my pocket money today as i feel that with Rangers tired legs and possibly minds on other jobs this Hibernian side with nothing to lose will have a real go at Rangers today, We see 2 shocks in the English FA Cup yesterday so heres hoping for 1 more today.
