Rangers can go 10 points behind Celtic in the Premiership if they can beat an in-form Hibs side at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Barry Ferguson<\/a> is still seeking his first home win as the interim manager<\/a>, but he will be met with fierce resistance in the shape of David Gray\u2019s men from Leith.<\/p>\n

Ferguson was ruthless last weekend in the 4-3 win over Dundee<\/a> as he made two changes at half-time to spark a huge turnaround in the second-half.<\/p>\n

Gers were 3-1 down at one stage but Ferguson\u2019s in-game management and substitutions worked wonders as James Tavernier, Tom Lawrence<\/a> and Cyriel Dessers all scored to snatch three points.<\/p>\n

We expect all three of those players to start, with Lawrence replacing a midfielder who was hooked at the interval last weekend.<\/p>\n

We at Rangers News<\/strong> believe Ferguson will make two changes to the starting XI fielded in the 4-3 win over Dundee last weekend.<\/p>\n

Ridvan Yilmaz<\/a> had a particularly poor game at left wing-back, with ex-Light Blues midfielder Andy Halliday rating the Turk\u2019s performance 1\/10<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yilmaz somehow survived the hook at half-time, but midfielder Connor Barron<\/a> did not. We think the former Aberdeen star will also be demoted to the bench.<\/p>\n

Jefte and Tom Lawrence get the nod<\/p>\n

It was feared Jefte would miss several weeks<\/a> due to a personal issue that forced him to miss Rangers\u2019 derby victory over Celtic.<\/p>\n

But the Brazilian was on the bench last weekend and came on after 61 minutes to replace Yilmaz. He\u2019ll have a tough time against a potent Hibs attack, which will be Ferguson\u2019s only concern when picking his team.<\/p>\n

\"Predicted<\/p>\n

Lawrence was also a substitute and scored a tremendous goal at Dens Park seven minutes after entering the field to make it 3-3.<\/p>\n

Amid transfer links with Blackburn Rovers and Burnley<\/a>, the Welshman deserves to start against Hibs for the impact he made at Dundee.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rangers can go 10 points behind Celtic in the Premiership if they can beat an in-form Hibs side…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1634,1635,1636,1637,1638,79,1639,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-2678","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-barry-ferguson","9":"tag-connor-barron","10":"tag-jefte","11":"tag-ridvan-yilmaz","12":"tag-scottish-premiership","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-tom-lawrence","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114283107220777650","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
