EDGE on My Sport "I am really looking forward to a great contest. It's been a while since I was as excited about a game. This is Rangers' biggest test of the season so far, and with Hibernian sure to be fired up by the prospect of winning their two games in hand over Celtic and leap-frogging them, it promises to be a great encounter. I'll go for 3-2 Rangers and a Boyd double."
