Hibernian vs Rangers score prediction
According to Van Bronckhorst, Rangers "gave everything" against PSV. While there may be some sore limbs in the side, the Gers have rarely allowed their European exploits to impinge upon their league form.
Amid their continental sojourn last season, Rangers lost just one of the 16 Premiership matches which followed a European tie (W11 D4). With a perfect domestic record thus far, Rangers should again avoid a slip-up this weekend.
Prediction: Hibernian 0-2 Rangers
