ANDY HALLIDAY insists Rangers’ trip to Easter Road tonight will have no bearing on their Scottish Cup final with Hibernian.

Mark Warburton’s side return to Championship action after booking their place in the showpiece finale to the campaign with victory over Celtic on Sunday.

Rangers have already clinched the second tier title and Petrofac Training Cup in recent days and have now set their sights on another silverware triumph this term.

And Halliday knows the Light Blues will be in for a tough encounter when they face Alan Stubbs’ side at Hampden next month.

He said: “At the end of the day, it just shows you the standard of the Championship this year. People have said whatever they like about it but we know Hibs are a good team.

“They got to the League Cup final, they are going for promotion and they have got to the Scottish Cup final.

“Hibs haven’t got anywhere near enough credit as they should have this year, they have had a fantastic season.

“We have pipped them to the league and managed to win it with a few games to spare but I don’t think the season and Wednesday is a marker going into the Scottish Cup final.

“It is a one off cup game, it is a massive occasion and you see cup shocks all over the world.

“We are going to go in as favourites, and rightly so after winning the league, but Hibs are a very good team and anything can happen on the day. There is a massive prize at stake.”
