Hibs will be looking to catch the Rangers full-backs on the counter. That's why they've put Junior Hoilett up against James Tavernier.

He manipulates the ball well, can go both ways. That's an outlet they'll look to explore when they turn over the ball.

There's positivity building at Hibs, there's strength in depth and they have quality coming in.

There's not a lot of options in centre-forward areas, Dessers has been playing pretty much every game. Clearly Rangers are looking to Thursday night's game against Lyon.

It gives an opportunity to Igamane. I liked the look of him at Tannadice and it's a great chance for him to get minutes at Ibrox. He has a lot of potential.

Rangers get the game under way.

Will the hosts narrow the gap to the top to five points again? Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no. Or will Hibs spring a surprise?

As almost always, history heavily favours the Old Firm side - especially at home.

Hibs have lost seven in a row against Rangers since a 2-2 draw at Easter Road in August 2022, conceding 22 goals and scoring only five in the process.

That is the only game Rangers have failed to win in 10 meetings without defeat since Hibs progressed to the League Cup final with a 3-1 success at Hampden in November 2021.

Indeed, Hibs have failed to win at Ibrox in 11 visits since a 2-1 victory in February 2018, with Rangers winning the past 10.
