Rangers make the journey along the M8 to the capital on Sunday in buoyant mood after securing a 3-0 Old Firm derby win over campions Celtic on home soil last weekend.

Light Blues boss Michael Beale, who had failed to win any of his first four Glasgow derbies in all competitions, tasted success at the fifth time of asking thanks to goals from Todd Cantwell, John Souttar and Fashion Sakala which ended the Hoops 34-match unbeaten domestic run.

Next up for the second-placed Gers is a meeting with European hopefuls Hibernian at Easter Road as they look to close in and better last season’s points total of 89. The Ibrox side came from behind to run out convincing 4-1 winners in their last visit to Leith back in March.

Hibs are enjoying a good run of form under Lee Johnson, picking up eight points from their last 12 available, although they were left to rue a number of missed chances in a goalless draw against Aberdeen last week.

The Hibees found Dons goalkeeper Kelle Roos in inspired form between the sticks, with Kevin Nisbet denied from the penalty spot late on by the Dutchman. However, they still remain in contention to clinch a top-four finish, sitting just a solitary point behind Edinburgh rivals Hearts in fourth.

Matches between these two sides are often close encounters, but Rangers have the upper hand on league duty at Easter Road, a victorious run stretching back to September 2006.
