Andy Halliday insists there will be no hard feelings if Hibernian players refuse to form a guard of honour for Scottish Championship winners Rangers on Wednesday night. Ibrox supporters believe Alan Stubbs team should pay tribute by applauding their side on to the Easter Road pitch but that might be a bitter pill to swallow for the Edinburgh side, especially with their promotion hopes now hanging in the balance.Stubbs has refused to confirm or deny whether his players will welcome Rangers out of the tunnel, but midfielder Halliday says there will be no row if the hosts reject the request. Rangers manager Mark Warburton (left) with Andy Halliday He said: Thats up to Hibs. I would like to think [they would] as obviously its been part and parcel of football for a long time. But its up to them. There will certainly be no hard feelings if they dont. Its completely up to them. Manager Mark Warburton admits he would be touched by such a move but also said there would be no issue if it does not materialise.If its a gesture made by a club then were appreciative of it, he said. If its not then theres no issue. Well see what happens. It happens sometimes, other times it doesnt. So we will wait until Wednesday but it wont be high on the agenda from our perspective. Hibs boss Alan Stubbs and Rangers manager Mark Warburton Would we do it if roles were reversed? If that was the case we could discuss it, but it didnt happen.Wednesdays clash will act as a dress rehearsal for next months Scottish Cup final after both sides booked their place with dramatic penalty shoot-out victories in the last four.Hibs overcame Dundee United but will place just as much importance on their midweek encounter with the Gers as they look to breathe fresh life into their play-off hopes. Hibernian Head Coach Alan Stubbs wants his side to forget about their Scottish Cup final with Rangers and focus on beating them in the Championship After beating Celtic, Rangers are aiming for their first major cup triumph since 2011 and a return to Europe four years on from their financial troubles. Halliday is more concerned about maintaining momentum but does not think the midweek result will have an impact come cup final day.Were going to go for the cup and Europe but weve got a very tough game in Hibs, he said. They got to the League Cup final and now theyre in the Scottish Cup final as well as challenging for promotion. Rangers players celebrate their penalty shoot-out win over Celtic I think they are a side that has not had enough credit for the way they have done this season.But I dont think (Wednesdays game will have any extra impact ahead of the cup final). Anything can happen in a cup game. Hibs are a good team, were a good team and there is so much at stake so it will really be the team which turns up on cup final day that wins the game and the cup, so I dont think that will have any bearing on how Wednesday will pan out.The cup winners will enter next seasons Europa League at the second qualifying round on July 14 but Warburton is not worried that fighting on two fronts would tire his team out as they try to re-adjust to life in the top flight. Rangers manager Mark Warburton thinks their Scottish Cup win against Celtic proves how good they are I think you have to accept European football and say thank you very much, he said. If you have the chance to go for European football, to test your squad, to develop the players, to excite the fans, I cant believe you would turn that down. What we have to do is prepare as well as possible for it.It will be a new experience for many but people like Davie Weir and Kenny Miller have been through it, so we have experience in the squad and the players we bring in we hope will have experience as well.Watch Hibernian v Rangers on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports 2, from 7.30pm.
