Hibs vs Rangers Prediction: Both teams to score but away win the way to go

It’s the final round of fixtures from the Scottish Premiership season, with the remaining six games split evenly across Saturday and Sunday. The top six play on Saturday, and you can read an in-depth preview of Celtic vs St Mirren elsewhere at Betfred Insights. On this page, we focus on the match in Edinburgh where high-flying Hibs host Rangers.

The home team have enjoyed a remarkable season, climbing from the bottom of the league into third place. They’ll end as best of the rest, but will Hibs fire a warning shot for next season by beating Rangers? Betfred’s Frank Monkhouse offers his preview and those all-important Hibs vs Rangers Predictions...

Hibs enter the final weekend of the season aiming to land a 16th win. David Gray’s team have impressed in 2025, moving into the bronze medal position following a strong run of results. The team from the capital haven’t taken their foot off the gas in the closing weeks of the season either. Hibs have taken four of the last nine points available, and everyone connected to the club would dearly love to send the fans into summer with an important win.

Saturday’s trip to Edinburgh will be the final time we see many of the current squad in Rangers blue. Another summer clearout is expected in Govan as the club’s incoming American owners begin the important job of bringing the glory days back to Ibrox. Interim manager Barry Ferguson will likely take charge for the final time, and the former club captain would love to secure a third win on the spin. Will the players give Barry the result he craves?

Hibs vs Rangers Odds

The pre-match betting available on Hibs vs Rangers at Betfred makes for interesting reading as the traders offer some late-season value. Do you expect Hibs to use home advantage and blast their way to three points? The locals have a miserable record against Saturday’s opponents at this venue, making them difficult to trust. Betfred sweetens the deal by attaching odds of 5/2 to a home win, and that won’t go unnoticed this weekend. There’s enough in that quote to merit a single bet on the home team.

Rangers travel from Glasgow to Edinburgh, knowing it has been another painfully disappointing season, not least of all for the fans. Supporters have backed Rangers domestically and on their European adventures in the Europa League. They watched as Celtic sprinted clear in the Premiership, won an Old Firm League Cup final on penalties and saw lowly Queens Park win at Ibrox in the early rounds of the Scottish Cup. Saturday will be the end of the road for many of the misfiring stars. The away win is even money, with a draw available at a handy 3/1.

Over 2.5 goals

Our first bet is on Hibs vs Rangers to produce more than two goals. Found in the total goals market on the Betfred site and app, this market is a great way to avoid picking sides, allowing you to enjoy the game while cheering every goal scored. It doesn’t matter which team wins and how they get the points, as long as the match produces three or more goals for both the Hibees and Gers combined, you’ll enjoy a profit.

Looking through the stats, we see backing over 2.5 goals was a profitable approach when Rangers were last in town. The rivals treated fans to a six-goal draw at Easter Road in early January when Hamza Igamane netted a hat-trick in a game that swung back and forth. Over 2.5 goals was the smart play in five of the previous six meetings here, and that’s good enough to get our vote.

Both score and Rangers win

Looking for a bet at higher odds to finish the season in style? We’ve got you covered with a play on both teams to score in a Rangers win. Hibs took four points from a possible nine against Rangers so far this season, thanks to a 3-3 draw here and a fantastic 2-0 win at Ibrox last month. But their home form against Saturday’s rivals is nothing to shout about. Hibs haven’t beaten Rangers at Easter Road in 14 attempts. That’s quite a drought.

Rangers arrive looking to guard that proud, unbeaten run. In those 14 games, the Gers have eight wins. Eye-catching results include 4-1 and 3-1 wins here in 2023. Backing both score and Rangers win would’ve boosted your profit margin in Wednesday’s home victory over Dundee United. Hibs also lost 3-1 against Celtic earlier this month, adding weight to our prediction. Back both teams to score in a Rangers win and enjoy the show.
