It's advantage Rangers so far with their 2nd position in the Premiership table, welcoming Hibernian who are placed 6th.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Rangers and Hibernian.

Hibernian delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against St. Mirren (placed 10th) in their previous match; a Premiership game. A home win before that, celebrating 4-2 vs Dundee United.
