Another testy fixture in the space of a week and sadly it looks like we have nothing to gain in terms of league position unless we 'bang in' six goals without reply. Our strikers' form tells us that is not gonna happen! In Rangers case, they are playing for a realistic chance of undeservedly nicking 2nd place from the Dons who play at Celtic Park. Will Hibs 'lie down' and give it up? Not with Neil Lennon at the helm!! Rangers are missing Morelos, Mcrorey, Dorrans (injured) and Miller and Wallace 'oot the team'/suspended. IMO they are not in good shape for this game in a packed ER Stadium with Hibs fans filling it to capacity and the few hundred Gers' fans 'hemmed in' at one end of the South Stand. One of our main concerns is the loss of Boyly - what a blow that was on Wed night and definitely one of the factors why we didn't beat Hertz at the PBS! How does Lenny solve this prob while favouring a hi press game plan? I'm not a Barker fan (not as good as Boyly) but he has the pace to damage Rangers defence. I just wish he had a bit more guile and intelligence when it comes to passing the ball and taking a goal opp. I also hope Neil Lennon reverts back to his tried n tested back three defensive line. We need to pound Rangers with the appropriate attacking formation and the players 'up for it'!! 'Have a go' and lets see how many goals we can score against them - THEY ARE NOT THAT GOOD, NEVER WERE THAT GOOD!! C'mon Hibs - we demand a performance and no 'lying down'! There's a point to prove in this game and lets end the season 'on a high'!
