Rangers starting XI vs Hibs: Clement makes three changes with Goldson suspended

Rangers return to Scottish Premiership for the first time in 2024 as they head to Edinburgh to face Hibs at Easter Road.

The Gers returned to competitive action at the weekend with a 4-1 victory over Dumbarton at the weekend in the Scottish Cup but Belgian boss Philippe Clement will now turn his attention back to league as they look to close the gap to Celtic at the top.

As for tonight's opponents Hibs, they made hard work of a Scottish Cup victory at the weekend as they sneaked past League Two outfit Forfar, winning 1-0 thanks to a Christian Doidge goal 20 minutes from time. Head coach Nick Montgomery will be looking for an improvement for his side under the Easter Road lights tonight.

Clement will be without the service of midfielder Kieran Dowell who could be missing for up two months while Danilo is a long term absentee. Connor Goldson misses the clash due to suspension after receiving five yellow cards during the campaign, though Dujon Sterling returns to the squad after missing the weekend win over Dumbarton.
