Can both Edinburgh sides take wins against vastly different opposition? Will Hearts take advantage of Rangers crumbling confidence? David Easson has the Scottish Betting Tips
Rangers lost to Queens Park last week. Not sure anyone noticed, but Rangers lost to Queens Park. At home. The first lower league side to beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup at Ibrox. Ever.
Will that affect their home form in the league? Who knows?
So, can we back Hearts? Well...
Probably not based on head-to-heads. Hearts haven't beaten them at Tannadice for 5 years.
But this is a new Hearts under Neil Critchley. They're scoring goals. They are eight unbeaten in all competitions.
Rangers may be 4 undefeated on the road but they've only won four away games this season. They haven't lost since Boxing Day at St. Mirren but it doesn't give you any confidence knowing what they are capable of doing - mainly to themselves.
3/4 is short for Rangers, but I'll take Rangers and both to score at 12/5.
I think we'll see goals. Over 3.5 is 7/4
Hibs are on their travels from the capital at St. Mirren and I'm far more comfortable backing them at 11/8 than I was Rangers. They are nine unbeaten with one defeat in 13 in all competitions - away at Celtic at the start of December. St. Mirren have lost 4 of the last 5 at home and went out of the cup on penalties to Hearts last weekend.
Hibs at 11/8 is the play.
