Andy Walker has made a 'tall order' claim over Rangers' chances of chasing Celtic down in the title race.
Michael Beale is set for his competitive bow as the Light Blues boss following his appointment after the sacking of Dutchman Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Supporters got a glimpse of life in the new regime with a very comfortable 3-0 friendly success over Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday but the real action is back and it is a vital game for the home side.
Lee Johnson's Hibs side arrive on a poor run of form pre-World Cup and they will be keen to upset the big occasion in Govan on Thursday night and get their own season back up and firing. Walker believes Rangers have to get the gap down to six ahead of Celtic's trip to Pittodrie but thinks catching them is a tough task. He also stated his interest in whether the new man will be able to get the best out of Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos - with both players heading out of contract and able to discuss pre-contract moves to other interest clubs from January 1.
