Hibs ensured Gio van Bronckhorst got off to a false start as Rangers boss with a Glasgow drubbing. And they have to believe the exact same can happen when Michael Beale gets his reign at Ibrox under way two weeks tomorrow night.
That 3-1 Hampden hammering just over a year ago might not have done much for Jack Ross in the long run. But if Lee Johnson can lead his side to victory in Govan it could very well be the catalyst the Easter Road boss is desperately seeking. Some might say Rangers will benefit from the new manager coming in.
But if you look at that semi final there was certainly no bounce. Rangers were flat and Hibs sprang a shock. And I firmly believe it could happen again. Rangers are a team that are playing with a real lack of confidence and Beale hasn’t got a magic wand.
