• Fixture: Rangers vs Hibernian
• Date: Monday, 15 December 2025
• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT
• Venue: Ibrox Stadium

Rangers are coming into this match with a strong run of form, having secured three wins in their last five games, including a convincing 3-0 victory over Kilmarnock away from home. Their predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should provide a solid defensive structure while allowing players like Mohammed Diomande and Bojan Miovski to exploit Hibernian's backline. Hibernian, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag of results, with two losses in their recent outings, but they've shown they can score goals, as evidenced by their 3-0 win against Falkirk.

Given Rangers' recent performances and their head-to-head record against Hibernian, they look set to continue their winning streak. Hibs will need to be at their best to counter Rangers' attacking threat, but their 3-1-4-2 formation might leave them vulnerable at the back. Expect a competitive match, but Rangers should have the edge.

Rangers have been in fine form recently, winning three of their last five matches, including a strong 3-0 victory against Kilmarnock away from home. Their only blemishes were two draws against Dundee Utd and Falkirk, but overall, they've shown a good level of consistency and confidence. This form should give them a significant boost going into the match against Hibernian.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Win: 3-0 vs Kilmarnock (A)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Dundee Utd (A)
• Draw: 0-0 vs Falkirk (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs Livingston (H)
• Win: 3-0 vs Dundee (A)

Hibernian have had a mixed run of form, with three wins and two losses in their last five games. They recently enjoyed a 3-0 win over Falkirk at home, but before that they suffered back-to-back defeats against Celtic and Motherwell. Their recent 3-0 victory against St. Mirren away from home shows they can still be a threat, but they'll need to be more consistent to challenge Rangers.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Win: 3-0 vs Falkirk (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Celtic (H)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Motherwell (A)

• Win: 2-0 vs Dundee (H)

• Win: 3-0 vs St. Mirren (A)

The head-to-head record between Rangers and Hibernian has been closely contested recently. Rangers have won two of the last five encounters, including a 1-0 victory in October, while Hibernian secured a 2-0 win in April. Two of the other matches ended in high-scoring draws, suggesting that this upcoming match could be another tight and potentially goal-filled contest.

Rangers are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Jack Butland in goal and a back four of Aarons, Djiga, Fernandez, and Meghoma providing a solid defensive base. The midfield trio of Raskin, Barron, and Gassama, supported by Diomande and Bajrami, should offer both defensive stability and creative options to feed striker Bojan Miovski.

• Predicted lineup: Sallinger (GK), O'Hora (DF), Bushiri (DF), Iredale (DF), Barlaser (MF), C Cadden (MF), Chaiwa (MF), Mulligan (MF), McGrath (MF), Bowie (AT), Boyle (AT)

Hibernian are likely to deploy a 3-1-4-2 formation, with Sallinger in goal and a back three of O'Hora, Bushiri, and Iredale. The midfield will be anchored by Barlaser, with C Cadden, Mulligan, Chaiwa, and McGrath providing width and support to the attacking duo of Boyle and Bowie.

• Bojan Miovski vs Rocky Bushiri: Bojan Miovski's strength and timing will be tested against Rocky Bushiri's defensive strength.

• Connor Barron vs Josh Mulligan: Connor Barron's control in midfield will be crucial against Josh Mulligan's energy and tenacity.

• Nicolas Raskin (Rangers): Nicolas Raskin's creativity and tenacity in midfield will be key to unlocking Hibernian's defence.
