After a break of 18 days, our involvement in the Championship Play-off is here. Rangers are a different kettle of fish now that Stuart McCall has taken over, but the same deficiencies are still there just under the surface and it's up to Hibs to take advantage at Ibrox on Wednesday night at 7.45pm. The recent trip to La Manga has had benefits in taking the players away for warm weather training, but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.
Hibs have had success against Rangers at Ibrox this season and will have no fears in this match. The usual attributes of commitment, coolness and undoubted skill from Hibs, allied to a strong positive start, will be enough to produce a desired result. Whatever happens in this game, it will not be the decider in this tie. That comes at Easter Road on Saturday at 12 noon.
My team for Ibrox would be:-
Oxley,
Watson, Hanlon, Fontaine,
Stanton, Fyvie, Robertson, Allan, Stevenson,
Cummings, El Alagui.
Subs - Handling, Malonga, Dja Djedje.
