This would be absolutely perfect if Hibs managed to finally beat Rangers at Ibronx on Sunday thereby cementing their 3rd place position in the Scot Prem. As well as Ryan Jack still missing in midfield, they are gonna be weakened on their right flank as Paterson will be suspended (4 x deserved match bans!) due to COVID non-compliance that he can't deny and no matter how much his manager keeps whining about it!! Therefore lets focus on that position! I'm curious to see who the SFA assigned ref is this time around as most Hibs fans like myself are well aware that we've been "stitched up" in the last two matches v them by either incompetent or downright biased referees. Lets hope this match is not blessed by Golum, Madden, Clancy, McLean or Beaton but don't "hold your breath" in anticipation. They've won the Scot Prem now. So maybe whoever officiates this match will now be operating to a different agenda and the normal rules of footie!! One can only live in hope. Anyway, I hope JR deploys a tight midfield strategy similar to the last time we played them at Ibronx but don't show them too much respect. I wanna beat them and hopefully do it with a bit of style if we can manage it. But in order to do that we need to score the requisite goals. One thing I have perceived re Rangers is the fact they don't like playing Hibs. So keeping this game "tight" for as long as poss is imperative. If I had my way I'd ask our goalie to wear a skull cap just to "wind them up" that they didnae get away with that kinda head assault on a goalie but it took a Euro ref to finally send off one of their players, indeed two in the same match and they got stuffed unlike in Scot footie!! C'mon Hibs! Lets end their unbeaten run that has been complimented by a good number of dodgy Scottish referees this season!!
