Match preview

Hibs can make life tough for a Rangers side missing star striker Alfredo Morelos at Easter Road.

The Colombian was shown a second yellow card for his over-exuberant celebrations after netting in Rangers' 2-0 win against Motherwell on Sunday, ruling him out of their visit to Leith.

It would have been difficult enough against a rejuvenated Hibs under new manager Jack Ross even if they had been able to call on the services of their top predator.

Hibs never really laid a glove at Parkhead last week against Celtic, but they will be dying to bloody the nose of Steven Gerrard's side.

They blew Aberdeen away 3-0 in their last home game and can get at least a point from this fixture.

Key stat

Hibs have scored at least two goals at home in each of their last six games, against teams including Celtic, Aberdeen and Motherwell.
