Will we beat Rangers?

[houstonhibbee]

Hard to see it after Saturday but nothing's impossible.
I fear we could go down badly after a bright start and maybe even score first but out fragilities will show up.
1-5 is my from the head prediction. 2-1 from the heart........

[bingo70]

Seems like the sort of thing Hibs would do after Saturday 😉

Cant see it though, think we’ll get thumped pretty convincingly.

[erin go bragh]

Hope so 🤞We were the first team to score against them last time at ER.
Could we be the first to beat them 🤨Just be like us after the shocker on Saturday.

[Magpie]

Based on the managers record in these games, no.

[Hibs90]

I highly doubt it.

[Michael]

Got a good feeling about this one. 2-0 to Hibs.

[calumhibee1]

Nope. Wouldn’t be surprised if there was only a goal or two in it but can’t see us beating them.

[B.H.F.C]

Was only a month ago that we did pretty well against them. If we score first we might have a chance. If they score first we’ll likely cave in.

[Glory Lurker]

Och, why not?

[Pagan Hibernia]

Our performances against the gruesome twosome have been ok.

It would be so Hibs to beat them after that debacle last Saturday. I’ll say 2-1.

[Onceinawhile]

Nope. We seem to have stopped doing the kick the ball in the goal thing.

[Alfred E Newman]

If we beat Rangers I'll be even more angry about Saturdays shambles.

[Sir David Gray]

No.

[superfurryhibby]

A hammering will see Ross under real pressure.

[bingo70]

A hammering will see Ross under real pressure.

How come, we’ll still be 4th? 😉

I think we might avoid your from the head prediction but there's every chance we'll take a doing. Rangers have all but sewn up the league so will have no qualms about playing an open game. Couple of quick goals to kill us off and then see out the game in relaxed fashion. 0-3 would be my prediction.

[G B Young]

If we beat Rangers I'll be even more angry about Saturdays shambles.

Know what you mean. Obviously I want us to win but the 'we owed the fans one' stuff always rings hollow to me in these sort of post-debacle scenarios. If they owed us anything it was to show they'd learned from the disappointment of losing the Hearts semi by winning the St Johstone game. On that score they failed dismally.

[hibIBZ]

Not a chance. Rangers are the best team in the league this year and after the performances over the last weeks, not a hope, although this is Hibs and stranger things have happened, but not this time

[Magpie]

How come, we’ll still be 4th? 😉

😂

[Pretty Boy]

Our performances and the home result v Rangers have been positives this season.

However the respective form of the current teams and the confidence that does or doesn't breed makes this a tough ask.

1-3 Rangers.

[dchibs]

Fancy us to get a draw 1-1

[weecounty hibby]

The pitch will hopefully benefit us. I am ever the optomist so, aye, a Hibs win!

[Wakeyhibee]

On recent form 5-0 Rangers. But I thought that when Celtic played Hearts.

4-0 Hibs

[MWHIBBIES]

It will be a lot closer to a draw than them scoring 4 or 5. We typically raise our game and hopefully will again.

[Allez Hibs]

No.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Cannae see it.

[Forza Fred]

Freezing cauld night, pitch like a tattie field can be levellers.


Going (hoping) for a 0-0 draw

[SaulGoodman]

We usually up our game against Rangers so I’m confident of a boring 2-0 loss.

[SanFranHibs]

Hopefully we will start off brightly again, create a few good opportunities and maybe, just maybe..actually take one or two.

I will go for 2 -2.

:flag::flag:

[NAE NOOKIE]

If we beat Rangers I'll be even more angry about Saturdays shambles.

Me as well, but it would be absolutely typical Hibs to get at least a draw after that hour of utter dross at Hampden. However, looking at the current form of both teams I'm just hoping the Currant Buns take their foot off the gas at 0 - 3 and I suspect so is Jack Ross.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Naw.

Then again, mibees aye :greengrin

[Hermit Crab]

No chance with calamity defending from Hanlon and Porteous like Saturday. If we concede an early goal it will be a long night

[Steve20]

Bore draw and Jack Ross to claim afterwards that we’re having a sensational season.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

No. Looking for a performance before points tonight.

[Yorkshire HFC]

Probably not - but we might. That's sport, and that's why it keeps us interested - there's always a chance.

[tonyrougier123]

I’d take 0-0 right now,don’t see us scoring tonight.
Hopefully hibs players prove me wrong,but could be a long night.

[Dazzjw1875]

100% want bibs to fly out the traps and take early lead we could be in with a shout, but in my head our defense plays as bad as Saturday and I think we could get pretty embarrassed. Which could be the final straw for JR but I hope we win!!

[Jim44]

All I want is a decent performance all round, lots of effort and passion, even if the final result is a formality. Rangers are strong odds on favourites and won’t lose this one. A good performance could set us up for the next few matches.

[MWHIBBIES]

Yeah, Jack Ross is not thinking that

[Pilrig_Sauzee]

No. Probably not the hammering some fear, but can see a goal in each half from Rangers and nothing from us. Position in the league says we’re close, performances put us quite far apart I fear.

[hibee-boys]

Thought I’d be more up for the game today but I really can’t be arsed with it, will tune in but have zero expectations.

[BegbieHSC]

I never cease to get well up for Hibs v The Rangers games. They will never forget that day in May.

Gotta put Saturday’s shambles to the one side, and go for it!

3-1 the good guys, and the zombies to have a meltdown over Porto smiling too much!

[flash]

Looking forward to it now. Grateful to have the fitba in these strange times.

[Sylar]

I’d have said Motherwell had no chance of taking points off of them a few weeks ago...

[Hibby70]

Looking forward to it now. Grateful to have the fitba in these strange times.

Agree, this season is all a bit surreal so I'm not getting too bothered about results and just want to watch some decent football.

[bingo70]

Looking forward to it now. Grateful to have the fitba in these strange times.

I’m the same.

I know I’m a miserable ******* about Hibs but I’m looking forward to tonight, even if I think we’ll get pumped.

Walked past Easter Road yesterday with the dog and it struck me how much I can’t wait to get back there. Almost started getting a bit emotional 😂

[Keith_M]

Will we beat Rangers?

Will I win the Euro Millions?

Will Kaley Cuoco fly over in her private jet and take me away to her mansion in California to be her love slave?


Who knows.

She better not, she told me she was sorry she couldn’t come for me because of lockdown

I`m not expecting to win, but will be bitterly disappointed if we don`t - I suppose that is the typical football fans mindset..

Looking forward to the game and also Irvine Welsh as guest on Hibs TV. Bring it on.

Too late, I'm already standing outside Glasgow Airport with a bunch of flowers and have sent the £1,000 to pay for the fuel to NigerianPrinceBankInc.


:na na:

[rossevenil]

Guess it depends who adapts quickest on the terrible surface unless the groundsman has worked wonders in the last week or so.

JR really does need a win though to prove he can win a "big" game and taking their unbeaten league run would be a start after the 2 semi final shockers....and as others have said it would
be typical Hibs to finally put in a performance......however i`m gonna go for 0-3

[lord bunberry]

I’m ever the optimist so I think we’ll win. I’ll learn one of these days. :greengrin

[Keith_M]

Well Hibs still seem to be struggling with that.


If I could choose, I'd never play any Hibs games at Easter Road or Hampden.

[HFC93]

Aye

[Oscar T Grouch]

I think the huns think they are going to finish the season unbeaten. They need to win all their games to match the Celtc invincible team who got 106 points. There is an article on BBC about this and the murmurings of that that has seeped into their forums, it is the exact right time for Hibs to pull off a win against them.

Now I have said that we will probably get humped 0-4 , but I hold out hope for us sneaking a wee 2-1 or 1-0.

[where'stheslope]

Would be a great game to win, but, the backlash isn't worth thinking about!!!
After lying down in the semi to winning against the Gers, it would be mayhem on here!!!

[TheHibernator]

Can't be arsed watching after Saturday, difficult to see us taking anything from the game right now in my head.

Even if they do they'll never be truly invicible as they got knocked out the League Cup whereas Brendan Rodgers team also won all the cups.

[Steve88]

When it rains, it pours. 0-3 Rangers I'm afraid :rolleyes:...

[we are hibs]

Hopefully. Id love nothing more than to bring them down a peg or 2. But i fear for us if we lose the 1st goal.

[hibsbollah]

About one chance in 8 or 9. So yes, absolutely possible.

[DH1875]

Wouldn't surprise me, can't see it happening though. Lose an early goal and it'll be a long night.

3-0 at Ibrox under Calderwood shows that anything can happen.

[Keith_M]

Think of the facts here:


We've accumulated less points at ER than away from home this season, so playing at home is a disadvantage.

Since boxing Day, we've been well beaten by such leading lights as Ross County (0-2), Livingston (0-3) and St Johnstone (0-3). Even the manager admitted we're going through a slump

The Rangers are currently unbeaten in the league, having won 22 and drawn 3. They've scored 65 goals and conceded 7

The Rangers are unbeaten in Europe, having already played nine games, including Benfica, Standard Leige and Galatasary.








Of course we're going to win!

:wink:

[theonlywayisup]

I always recall a SC Semi Final defeat against Dundee United. IIRC, we were well on top only to throw it away, losing 2-1.

I recall the young guys on the bus confident that we would win the next game away at Tiny, whereas I was pretty confident that it was going to be another Derby Day defeat. We ended up winning 1-0, think it was the Casper game!

I can only see a heavy defeat tonight, but I've been wrong many times before.

You’re a few years out. It was under Mowbray, Dean Shiels scoring the winner.

That was the Simon Brown game. Scored two goals in 5 ins in second half to win 2-1 o'connor and Shiels.

[Since452]

We'll probably lose. Rangers will more than likely go through the season unbeaten. A draw would be a fantastic result.

[Roxyhibee]

Absolutely no reason why we can’t beat Rangers tonight. They’re not as unbeatable as people think and we actually do have some good talent in that squad. But what we are desperate for is a reaction after Saturday’s embarrassing disaster and those previous performances. We are far too nice and have been lacking leadership.

Ross needs to get some fight into that team pronto. I want to see our skipper in the refs ear, talking to his defence at set pieces, a foot being left in now and then by our players, a yellow if need be, plenty shouting at each other. Some passion. 3 points is very possible tonight but waken up Hibs ffs.

[Killiehibbie]

Who knows.

I'll have a fiver on the first one as it has much more chance than the other options.

[WhileTheChief..]

Looking forward to this but don’t expect much from it.

I just hope we have a go.

No but I do hope I am wrong.

We would need them to get a man sent off, a couple of penalties for us then I would still not fancy us.

Never gonna happen.

OK, as Kaley didn't turn up at the airport, my hopes now rest purely on the lottery win.
