On Wednesday Dec 1st, in week 16, Hibernian will play host to Rangers in a meeting of these two closely matched Premiership teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 4 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. In their last match, 6th placed Hibernian, recorded a 2-1 win against St. Johnstone. Ryan Porteous struck first for St. Johnstone on an own goal in the 40th minute, then Kevin Nisbet tied it up for Hibernian in the 83rd minute Finally they completed the comback victory in the 86th minute on a goal by Jamie Murphy to cap off a wild match. Hibernian is looking for direction having 3 win and 5 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Rangers recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Sparta Praha. Alfredo Morelos scored the first goal for Rangers in the 15th minute, then Alfredo Morelos added another in the 49th minute In the end, Sparta Praha couldn’t muster any offence and Rangers ran away with the shutout win. Rangers should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, Rangers was victorious by a score of 2 to 1. Kevin Nisbet struck first for Hibernian in the 8th minute, then Kemar Roofe tied it up for Rangers in the 60th minute Finally they completed the comback in the 78th minute on a goal by Alfredo Morelos to cap off a wild match.
Both Fashion Sakala and Alfredo Morelos have been the hottest scorers for Rangers in the last 5 each having scored 3 goals each. Martin Boyle and Jamie Murphy are the top scorers for Hibernian in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
