Hibees positivity thread ahead of the The Rangers game

[theonlywayisup]

Hibernian are unbeaten in their last 15 league games (W10 D5), the longest unbeaten run within a single season in the Scottish top-flight in the 21st century by any side other than the two Old Firm clubs. At the start of this run (Dec 14th) we were at the bottom of the table, but now find ourselves in third.

We travel to Ibrox having not beaten The Rangers in the last 24 league meetings (L17 D7) since a 2-1 away win in February 2018 when Graeme Murty was their manager, with John McGinn and Jamie Maclaren scoring for the Hibees. Now we face another caretaker manager, so maybe we'll never have a better opportunity to grab a win to extend the unbeaten sequence and retain 3rd spot in the league, especially with their focus being the Europa Cup Quarter Final game against Athletic Bilbao on Thursday.

Watching the St Johnstone game, I noticed how structured we were. Every player looked as if they had a clear role and performed it perfectly. Tomorrow, at Ibrox, we need a similar performance and I've every confidence that our players will be up for the challenge and will not hide from it. We need to maintain the positivity gained over the last few months. With another fantastic away support present, let's keep the positivity flowing as the Hibees run out onto the pitch. I hope the positive results will continue.

It’s a free hit.

A club like Celtic who spend millions more than anyone else against the under dogs.

Queens Park beat them at Ibrox not too long ago.

The Hibs team have shown great mental strength this season and this will be another test to see how far we have come.

Earlier in season we missed a penalty at 1-0 just before half time at Ibrox to make
It 1-1.

I think we will create chances - we need to defend well and limit what they have against us.

We have a great team and a point or even 3 points would be fantastic.

St Mirren , Motherwell and Queen’s Park have beaten them there . They have lost 9 goals in their last four games and we have players in our team that are more than capable of hurting them like these previous ones …

Mon the Hibees :flag:

[Pagan Hibernia]

We are long overdue a league win against them!

Best chance in a long time.

[Stuart93]

Great time to be playing them.

But let’s not lose sight of the fact they’re still a multi million pound team.

They should be winning tomorrow but this is our best chance there in a while.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

In our run it was only in the Celtc game in the cup that players were uncharacteristically off form -
disruption of losing both Caddens but this team shows up.

Post break we’ve kept momentum. Let’s continue and show up agains the Gers.

mon the Hibs!

[SON OF PADDY]

Turn up, turn them over, then head back home with the points, job done !

[Paul1642]

Rangers haven’t kept a clean sheet in 9 games (2nd February). They are there for the taking.

[Bostonhibby]

We're taking at least a point.

Intae the hun.

We've nothing to fear against this lot , compared to previous seasons this is very poor team we're up against , they're definitely beatable , I think we're good for at least a point

[Tambo]

We should be looking at other teams results at ibrox this season, throwing in our performance there earlier this season which we should have come away with something.

Will still be a tough match with hoping they plan to rest a few players, just need to perform to the levels we have in the league the past few months.

[PatHead]

We are the form team in the league so have the confidence to go out there and win.

[Scorrie]

The Rangers should have been pumped off Dundee but whose defence was woeful. Ours is so much better. We get a lead today and we will win

[theonlywayisup]

Here's and interesting stat from the BBC.

The Easter Road club are unbeaten in their last 24 Premiership matches when leading at half-time (W17, D7) dating back to 18 March 2023 against Celtic (L1-3).

[Unseen work]

Delighted to see this thread as always

Rangers not won at home in quite a few games now so they’ll be desperate to make things right. We’ve not beat them there since 2018.

Cmon the Hibees

Consistent and insistent incessant pressing all through the park, and putting their defence under repeated pressure, is for me key today, they are playing well at times but always look capable of buckling under pressure. We also probably need to stay calm as possible under the long periods of pressure we might find ourselves under.

Two key decisions today, man up front and midfielder alongside Triantis. I didn't think Myko was as bad as some people did last week, and he is a handful when on it, but would definitely need to up his game if picked, I can see the sense of picking him for his physicality but would need to hold on to the ball better than last week and press harder, which I think he is capable of and I have a feeling this might be his game to shine.

Levitt to play or not is the other one, if he can repeat last weeks style then definitely, but it will be much harder this week and will need to be on it 90 minutes, which before last week not sure I seen that in him,. However again, this week I feel he may finally take that step up.

With both these on form and our defences resilience in tact, we can definitely come away with a result.

Good luck to all going through, not a place I think I will ever visit again.

Convinced we will score . Keep it tight at the back and make this happen…

To William Staunch and Sons, John Knox Road, Mordor.

I don’t care about The Rangers.

Best regards,

Mon the Hibees. We're good enough to take something here if we're on song.
