Game of the weekend: Rangers v Hibs

2 weeks ago | bbc.com | Andy Campbell

The last time Rangers and Hibernian met, they drew 3-3. Since then, both have been involved in goal-laden games, which whets the appetite for this encounter. Hibs are front-runners to finish third - quite the turnaround since November when they were bottom. Only Celtic - in the league and Scottish Cup - have beaten them in the interim as David Gray's side have amassed 10 league wins and five draws. They are also scoring goals for fun - 48 in the Premiership.
Manager in spotlight: Motherwell's Michael Wimmer

The race for top-six places is predictably tight. Only Celtic, Rangers, Hibs and Aberdeen are assured a finish in the top half. Dundee United, Hearts, St Mirren and Motherwell are all vying for the final two places and County are not arithmetically out of the race just yet. For Motherwell and their new manager Michael Wimmer, securing a place among the elite would vindicate his recent appointment. The German has two wins and a draw from his opening five games, including a victory at Ibrox.

Last week's Scottish Premiership card looked like being a succession of largely comfortable home wins until Rangers snatched a dramatic late win at Dundee and Dundee United secured a narrow victory at Ross County. AdvertisementBut what will this weekend - the penultimate round of fixtures before the league split - throw up? Here are some names and games that could have a big say... The last time Rangers and Hibernian met, they drew 3-3.
Are reigning champions Celtic out of SWPL title race?

3 weeks ago | bbc.co.uk | Andy Campbell

With Celtic losing to Glasgow City on Friday, the SWPL title charge is starting to look like a three-horse race - with the reigning champions falling behind. That defeat left Elena Sadiku's side fourth, nine points off leaders Hibernian and also trailing Rangers by seven and City by six. So, are Celtic out of the reckoning with eight rounds of fixtures still to play?
Manager in spotlight: Derek McInnes

Dundee's recent win over Dundee United has made life a bit more uncomfortable for Kilmarnock in 10th. Derek McInnes' side are a point above the Dens Park side, with St Johnstone five points below the Dark Blues. Guiding Killie clear of the bottom two places will be a test of McInnes' vast experience and results at this stage of the season are all that matters. A trip to top six-chasing St Mirren is the next assignment and this is a fixture that McInnes generally enjoys.
Game of the weekend: Celtic v Hearts

3 weeks ago | bbc.com | Andy Campbell

Celtic remain comfortably on course for a fourth successive top-flight title, despite their home loss to Rangers last time out. Brendan Rodgers' side hold a 13-point lead at the top of the division and will be champions if they win their next four matches. Hearts, on the other hand, have work to do to secure a top-six place and challenge for Europe. Winning at Celtic Park is a tall order. Hearts have lost 25 of their last 27 visits in all competitions.
Player to watch: Martin Boyle

Fresh from helping Australia defeat Indonesia and China, Hibs forward Martin Boyle can extend his recent resurgence at home to St Johnstone. But it's not just Hibs' push for finishing third that is likely to be on Boyle's mind since the 31-year-old will soon enter the final two months of his contract. The club has an option to extend his stay for another year, although Boyle has said conversations are unlikely until this term is complete.

The Scottish Premiership returns after a two-week hiatus to accommodate international fixtures. The table was left with still many issues to be resolved with nine points separating Hibernian in third and Ross County in ninth. And it is in that middle section of the division where most of the intrigue lies, with three rounds of games to play before the split. Celtic remain comfortably on course for a fourth successive top-flight title, despite their home loss to Rangers last time out.
Fenerbahce 1-3 Rangers: Analysis

1 month ago | ca.sports.yahoo.com | Andy Campbell

Some tinkering to Rangers' system had been long overdue, with the side having not kept a clean sheet in five weeks and falling two behind in their previous two outings. The switch to three at the back offered some advantages defensively but the formation's principle aim was to carry a threat on the counter, as exemplified by the Vaclav Cerny double.
Rangers move top of SWPL on goal difference

Rangers thrashed Partick Thistle 6-0 to move top of the SWPL on goal difference as four teams go into the international break on 51 points. Both Rangers and Hibernian won to capitalise on dropped points by last week's leaders Glasgow City, who drew at home to Celtic on Friday. Mia McAulay, Rio Hardy and Demi-Lee Falconer's own goal had Rangers three up at the break against hosts Thistle. Kathy Hill, Kirsty Howat and Camille Lafaix added late goals.
