Gers gunning for 200th win over Scottish Championship rivals Hibs

In 344 meetings in all competitions between current Scottish Championship duo Rangers and Hibernian, who are usually more associated with being Premiership clubs, the former have triumphed 199 times, so back them odds-on at 8/13 with Coral for victory again.

The reviving Glasgow giants also recently smashed their Edinburgh rivals this season under new boss Mark Warburton, formerly of Brentford, in the Scottish Challenge Cup 6-2 away with striking duo Martyn Waghorn and Kenny Miller both bagging braces.

You can back them at even-money and 6/5 respectively to net anytime again, or 5/1 and 6/1 for two or more. English-born goalscoring midfielder Nicky Law, meanwhile, is a 7/2 shout in the anytime market.

However, while Gers beat Hibs three times last term in all competitions, they lost the other four including both times at home in the regular league season. The visitors, therefore, are tempting 17/4 chances to triumph or 3/1 to get a draw.

Young Scot Jason Cummings is there main man up top, as the 20-year-old hit four past Rangers last term, and slotted a penalty against them in the 6-2 cup loss at the end of July. He is a tempting 2/1 shout in the anytime market here too.

The most common result last term was 2-0 (three times), so Rangers’ odds of 15/2 to inflict that scoreline on Hibs again are very enticing to take.

This clash is certainly all set up, with former Celtic centre back Alan Stubbs head coach of the capital club. He has fired up the fixture by claiming that his counterpart Warburton has it easy.
