Rangers will be without Todd Cantwell, Alex Lowry, Abdallah Sima, Kieran Dowell, Danilo and Oscar Cortes, who are all expected to miss the tie. Winger Ross McCausland returned to face Benfica and should be available for the week.

Betting Odds

Hibernian predictably enter as heavy underdogs, coming in at 6/1 outright with bet365. Rangers meanwhile are heavy favourites with betway, coming in at 19/40 on the moneyline. The draw sits at 19/5 with Ladbrokes. 

Prediction

It's hard to look past an away win for Rangers who boast an impressive record on the road this season. Hibernian have found the net regularly enough at Easter Road but there problems have been at the back, making it difficult to see how they keep out this free-scoring Rangers team. 

There's no real value on the moneyline, but due to Hibs' scoring record at home, backing both teams to score seems the sensible option.
