Rangers bounced back from their heavy Old Firm derby defeat with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Hearts last weekend and fresh from that dismantling, they will face Edinburgh opposition for the second time in four days when Hibs visit Ibrox.

It has been a challenging start to 2022 for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side so far, having endured a slump in form which saw them surrender their lead at the top of the Premiership table to rivals Celtic.

The reigning champions now find themselves a solitary point behind of the Hoops but they returned to winning ways in impressive style by thrashing the Jambos on Sunday.

Alfredo Morelos, back from international duty with Colombia, netted a brace with further goals from Glen Kamara, Scott Arfield and Fashion Sakala wrapping up the points.

The Light Blues have yet to suffer defeat in the league at home this season and they will entertain a Hibernian side who have only won three times on their travels to date.

The Easter Road outfit arrive in Govan on the back of five games without a win following the winter break.

What’s the team news ahead of Rangers vs Hibernian?

Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst revealed yesterday that Swedish defender Filip Helander is closing in on a return to action after almost five months on the sidelines.

The centre-back has not played since suffering a knee injury against St Johnstone in September but he has been back in training since the start of the year.

Helander is likely to miss out tonight but could make the matchday squad for their Scottish Cup visit to Annan Athletic this weekend.

Van Bronckhorst stated: “We have a strong squad, I’m really happy to have the luxury of a strong squad to select from.

“You want a settled team but you will also always have a need to rotate. Ramsey is not quite ready to start yet. You can see his quality in training and in his early minutes.

“He is improving every day and it is great to see the improvements in only a week.

“Helander is really close to start getting minutes again. Hopefully we can get him involved at the weekend.”

Hibernian boss Shaun Maloney has full-back Paul McGinn available after his recent spell on the injury list but Joe Newell remains doubtful after missing Saturday’s match against St Mirren due to fitness problems.
