IMO this match is gonna be a big challenge for Hibs against opponents who don't lose very often on their home pitch. Hibs will have to try and emulate the Dons who previously showed that Rangers can be beaten but they also did it with ten players for a good part of the game. I hope our strikers finally "come alive" and Neil possibly "tweaks" our defence, which has been performing reasonably well.

Saw most of their game yesterday, saint johnstone should have got a point. If it wasn't for a combination of refereeing, morelos and their goalie they would be nearer midtable than the top. Gerrard is a monosyllabic plank of a manager, their game plan revolves around constant crosses into the box, and if that fails put in more crosses into the box.

That said I'm not confident of us taking anything at the moment, so its now a case of getting to January in as good a state as we can, last season the manager pulled it out the bag at that point so here's hoping he can do it again.

I'd take another draw now TBH. I don't fancy us either and feel we are not a fully effective, collective unit - certain players not "pulling their weight" while other Hibs players top class with a great attitude!! We need to "plod on" and get to January when we can "pick up" Scotty Allan and AN Other striker!

Many of us hope your "prediction" on Scott Allan comes true he would go a long way in replacing John McGinn and the board are due us a good one in recognition of the extra cash pouring into the club over the last 4 or 5 seasons.
How about this for a festive wish, Because Neil Lennon has volunteered to help Leigh Griffiths get rid of his demons it stands to reason he should come to Easter Road, where he loves being, and get the support of Hibs fans as well. Just a thought.

Final score 1-1 and a third consecutive draw but another dogged display by Hibs who could well have lost it 1-0 because of a great performance by Rangers' goalie, McGregor, but we've got Bogdan who also had a terrific goalie display to keep Hibs "in the hunt" and rewarded with that late goal by Darren Mac but what a fine cross from young Sean Mackie to plonk it right on Darren's napper!!! Great stuff! Thumb up

Our midfield struggled first half,but we gradually got into the game and created enough chances to merit a point.

The media rightly point out Bogdan made fine saves but so did McGregor for the Huns.

Onward to the Edinburgh derby, we have a depleted squad but what a boost 3 points would provide.
