Rangers vs West Ham United Prediction
Rangers finished behind Celtic in the league last season, but will be proud of their efforts in the Europa League, where they reached the final. Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be keen for his side to compete with Ange Postecoglou's Celtic next season.
For that to happen, Rangers need to ensure they have a strong enough squad. They have sold midfielder Joe Aribo to Southampton, while young defender Calvin Bassey has been linked with a move to clubs like Ajax and Brighton. However, Rangers have already signed forwards Tom Lawrence and Rabbi Matondo, as well as centre-back John Souttar.
West Ham United, on the other hand, have enjoyed some excellent performances under the management of David Moyes. They finished seventh last season, and will be hoping to build on that in the upcoming campaign.
Having already signed Moroccan centre-back Nayef Aguerd, the Hammers have been linked with moves for Chelsea striker Armando Broja and Lille midfielder Amadou Onana. It will be interesting to see what happens with star midfielder Declan Rice as well.
We expect West Ham United to win the game.
