Rangers will be looking for revenge against Hibernian, who knocked them out of the League Cup earlier this month, when they go toe-to-toe on Wednesday in an important and exciting Premiership fixture with kickoff at 22:45.
Hibernian made a strong and impressive start to their 2021/22 Premiership campaign losing none of their opening seven matches, while picking up four wins and three draws in the run. However a poor run of five defeats in their last six league matches has seen them drop to the sixth spot in the Premiership standings, where they sit on 18 points with three points behind the fifth-placed Motherwell.
Hibernian head into the match on the back of a 2-1 success against St Johnstone at away last Saturday, with the win breaking their five-match losing streak in the Premiership and hence Hibs will be looking to keep their new found momentum going in this fixture. They will also want to gain another victory against the Gers and potentially climb into the top five in the process.
Meanwhile Rangers have made a strong and Solid 2021/22 campaign in defence of their Premiership title. A record of 10 wins, three draws and one defeat in their 14 league matches has seen them collect 33 points, which have left them sitting at the summit of the Premiership standings with four points in the clear.
The Gers responded well to being knocked out of the Scottish League Cup as they bounced with two consecutive victories in both Europe and Scottish Premiership. They first dispatched Sparta Prague with a 2-0 win before beating Livingston 3-1 in the SPL thanks to goals from Scott Arfield, Joe Aribo and Fashion Sakala last weekend.
Therefore, Rangers will be looking to maintain their momentum as they aim at getting their revenge. Also with just four points separating them and Celtic, the Gers will be aware of how important this particular fixture is.
