With Hibernian in 2nd place and 8 points behind Rangers, this is an 11 pointer.

surely the fitba' analogy is " 6 pointer "

A 'six pointer' applies when there are 3 points between the two contesting teams, Paignton.
With this match the gap is 8 points, so a Rangers win extends it by 3 to 11 points; a win for Hibernian would reduce the gap by 3 to 5 points.
As usual, I fully expect Rangers to win.
