Rangers in title winning form
Champions bounce back from nightmare start
With ten goals in two games, Rangers are in fantastic form and gelling nicely in time for the New Year game at Parkhead.
The 4-1 win at Easter Road saw the Ibrox side restore their four point lead over Celtic before next weeks big clash, although there are midweek fixtures to come before then.
Rangers have made a habit out of striking early at Ibrox and giving their fans something to cheer about. This has helped them take control of matches and has been responsible for the great run of home form shown by the Glasgow side.
Hibs took a leaf out of their visitors books though by blasting into a 12 second lead.
Zemamma danced around the Rangers midfield and defence before he fed Anthony Stokes, who fired past Alan McGregor from a wide angle.
It is the start that Hibs fans would have dreamed of but the game very quickly turned into a nightmare.
After a brief period of Hibs control, Rangers upped the tempo of their play and harrying which caused the Hibs players to make errors.
Twice in the first half, Rangers pounced on slack play by Hibs and swept quickly allowing Kenny Miller and then Kris Boyd to strike.
Turning around the early deficit to lead 2-1 at half-time put Rangers on easy street but the management team would have still been cautious about what would occur in the second half.
The game was finished as a contest when Nacho Novo struck although yet again, calamity keeper Yves Ma-Kalambay was badly at fault. Yes, he was carrying an injury but the sooner Hibs get Graham Stack back and ditch this woefully inconsistent goalie the better for the fans from Leith.
Kenny Miller notched two for the third game in a row to complete the scoring and to ensure that the festivities continue for the Rangers fans.
A home game against Dundee United should not be a serious concern for Rangers on current form and to tell the truth, neither will a trip to Celtic Park.
Rangers fans, confident of 2010 being another title year?
