Michael Beale takes charge of his first competitive match as Rangers boss as the Scottish Premiership restarts this week.

The Light Blues have a nine-point deficit to make up on league leaders Celtic after a poor first half of the season, which prompted club chiefs to axe Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

The Beale era at Ibrox began with a bang as Rangers secured a 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen in a friendly last Saturday, but the pressure will be on to hit the ground running against Hibernian.

Hibs, who were dealt a blow by Ryan Porteous’s decision against signing a new contract last month, were on a poor run of form before the World Cup break and head into the second half of the campaign sitting eighth in the table.

Rangers v Hibernian prediction

Rangers are unbeaten at Ibrox with seven wins from eight games, while Hibernian were poor travellers before the World Cup break having amassed just six points from eight games on the road.

The defeat of Bayer Leverkusen was the perfect boost ahead of the real action and there was enough on show to suggest the Beale era can get underway with all three points.

Our prediction: Rangers 2-0 Hibernian (6/1 at bet365)
