GRAEME MURTY reckons Hibernian will be more ‘intense’ against Rangers then they were in their draw with Celtic on Sunday.

The Light Blues make the trip to Easter Road tonight aiming to record a fourth successive Premiership win and the sixth of Murty’s stint as interim boss.

The 43-year-old made the trip to Leith with Jonatan Johansson at the weekend to see Neil Lennon’s side in action at close hand as they held the Hoops.

Hibs will move level on points with the Gers if they can follow up their victory at Ibrox earlier in the campaign with another on home soil.

And Murty is expecting an all-action approach from Lennon’s side as they look to continue their impressive start to the campaign.

He said: "It's a game. It's three points.

“There's no point reading any more into that. We need to be prepared fully and try and go on and get another win.

"JJ and I actually questioned how useful it was because I am not sure that Hibs will play in the same manner against us.

“I think they will have a different mindset. But it was useful for me to see the environment and to see some of their personnel without being constrained by the TV screen, to see how they move and what their strengths are.

“Then we came back and watched three or four hours of their games and seeing them play in different formations. Mr Lennon is very adept at changing formations within the game too and we have to be on our toes dealing with that.

"I just think they will be more intense than they were against Celtic.

“The way that Celtic play in spreading the pitch and playing out from the back and them being so good at it actually draws the teeth of any aggressive press at the moment.

“I think Hibs will have possibly a different formation from the start."
