Lee Johnson has challenged his Hibs players to come out of the blocks 'absolutely flying' against Rangers.
The Easter Road boss has been working hard behind the scenes on the training ground to put things right after a poor run of form in the build-up to the World Cup shutdown. The Hibees at one point sat third in the table but they've slumped down to eighth spot as they target a return to form in a bid to challenge for the top six and European places.
Preparations have also had to change up due to Michael Beale's arrival at Rangers following the sacking of Giovanni van Bronckhorst. The capital gaffer has given an insight into how he has prepared his players for the Ibrox showdown as they bid to cause an upset and take all three points in what is set to be a massive night for the men from Govan. He told Hibs TV: “We need to come out of the blocks absolutely flying on Thursday. I want to see a really well-disciplined performance and three points.
