THE LOWDOWN
We travel to Ibrox Stadium this weekend for a 3pm kick-off against Rangers in the cinch Premiership.
Nick Montgomery will be looking to continue his unbeaten start as Hibs boss, having won two and drawn three of his first five matches in charge.
Those victories came against St Mirren in the Viaplay Cup Quarter-Final and St Johnstone in the league, whilst taking a point off Dundee (0-0), Kilmarnock (2-2) and most recently, Hearts (2-2) in the Edinburgh Derby.
We currently sit seventh in the cinch Premiership, on nine points from our first eight games.
THE HOSTS
Rangers currently sit second in the league, six points above us on 15 points.
This will be the Glasgow side’s first match under new Manager, Philippe Clement. The former Genk, Club Brugge and Monaco Manager was appointed the new Rangers Boss last week and will take charge of The Gers for the first time against Hibs on Saturday.
Rangers come into this one off the back of a 3-0 win over St Mirren in Paisley under Interim-Manager, Steven Davis. Before that, they lost to Cyprus side Aris Limassol in the UEFA Europa League and were beaten 3-1 by Aberdeen at Ibrox – a result which ultimately cost Michael Beale his job.
We played Rangers four times last season, with the Glasgow side coming out on top on three occasions. Our last victory at Ibrox was back in 2018, when goals from John McGinn and Jamie Maclaren sealed the points for the Hibees in a 2-1 victory.
