They too were involved in European action in midweek, beating Shkendija 2-1 in the first leg of their Conference League qualifier.Warren O’Hara notched the winner for Hibernian in the 90th minute, giving them the edge at the midway point of the tie.In the Premiership, meanwhile, David Gray’s team went down to a 2-1 defeat by Motherwell on the opening weekend, so they too are searching for their first league win of 2026/27 on Sunday.Rangers are favourites to triumph with the bookies, but they should not expect to have everything their own way as McInnes takes charge of his first match from the home dugout at Ibrox.Rangers vs Hibernian betting tipsRangers face Hibernian in their second game of the Scottish Premiership season.Not entirely plain sailing for GersBoth teams were in action on Thursday night, although the fact that Hibernian played in Scotland rather than Poland gives them a slight advantage in terms of preparation.Rangers have the stronger squad, though, and that should be enough for them to get over the line.Still, we fancy Hibernian to exploit a Rangers backline which has looked far from convincing at the start of this season.Goals at both ends are likely, with home advantage and Rangers’ superior quality set to tilt the balance in their favour. Back Rangers to win and both teams to score at 7/4 with Betfred Rangers to get strongerIt could take Rangers a while to find their rhythm on Sunday.They are still getting used to Derek McInnes’ methods, whereas Hibernian’s players are familiar with how their manager David Gray works.Rangers may also suffer from something of a European hangover following their defeat in midweek.However, the Gers are likely to come on strong as this match wears on, with Hibernian forced to withstand some heavy pressure in the second half. Tip Rangers to win the second half at 5/6 with bet365 Who will find net?Derek McInnes has a decision to make at the top of the pitch this weekend.Lawrence Shankland started up front in the 1-1 draw with Dundee United last Friday, while Youssef Chermiti led the line in the 2-1 loss to Jagiellonia Bialystok last time out.Chermiti will probably get the nod here, although we could see both strikers in the XI as McInnes continues to search for the right blend in attack.Chermiti had a curious campaign last term. He was not always consistent, but a return of 15 goals in 30 league appearances was a solid return for the then-Premiership debutant. Chermiti can get off the mark for 2026/27 against Hibernian.
