Hibs v Rangers
Scottish Premiership. Wednesday, December 19. KO 7.45pm. Live on BT Sport 1
THE lead in the Premiership has changed hands more than Holly changed clothes in the jungle and there could be another switch tonight.
Celtic, Hearts and Killie have all been at the top of the tree but it's Rangers who are in pole position to be there at Christmas.
However, Steven Gerrard's men could be sleighed tonight if they fail to win at Hibs and Celtic beat Motherwell.
Hibs have escaped from the doldrums with back-to-back wins against Hamilton and Celtic – and if they played as the did against the champions they have a chance at Easter Road tonight.
Neil Lennon's men have won two and drawn one of their last four meetings at home and are 5-2 with 888sport to bag the points with Gers 9-10 and the draw 14-5 with 888sport.
At the odds Hibs look worth backing at 10-11 not to lose while Hibs draw no bet pays 39-20 with 888sport.
Florian Kamberi hit a cracking goal against against Celtic and is 47-20 at Ladbrokes to score.
Rangers have netted just four goals in six games but are boosted by the return to Alfredo Morelos from suspension and he is 31-20 to net. Ryan Kent, Ryan Kent, Graham Dorrans and Jamie Murphy remain sidelined while Ovie Ejaria and Umar Sadiq have returned to their clubs after a loan spell.
While goals have been hard to find for Gers recently there have 29 in the last five meetings between the sides at Easter Road including a 5-5 draw last season and 6-2 win for the Ibrox side.
Both to score and over 2.5 goals must have a chance at 23-20.
