Rangers will look to win their first home game since early February as they welcome in-form Hibs to Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership this Saturday (kick off: 3pm).
Barry Ferguson’s side completed a remarkable comeback against Dundee last weekend, with James Tavernier, Tom Lawrence and Cyriel Dessers scoring three goals in a pulsating last 15 minutes at Dens Park, chalking up a sixth consecutive away win in the process, though they’ll be eager to address their poor recent home form.
Hibs will arrive at Ibrox with confidence flowing though, with their comfortable 3-0 win over St Johnstone last weekend marking a 15th consecutive Scottish Premiership game without defeat. Having already defeated Celtic in recent weeks, David Gray’s side will be desperate to complete an Old Firm double.
Ahead of the game at Ibrox, The Scotsman brings you all the early team news:
