The occasion of the first Hibs match at Easter Road since Ron Gordon's passing is sure to be an emotionally charged one. And Lee Johnson and his men are desperate to pick up a victory to mark the life of the former owner who died, aged 68, following a battle with cancer.
It puts football into perspective but visitors Rangers do have their own motivation for trying to get the win as they look to avoid losing further ground on leaders rivals Celtic while maintaining Michael Beale's unbeaten league run as Ibrox boss.
Beale faced Hibs in his very first game in charge of the Light Blues and it was a ding-dong battle at Ibrox before they eventually came through, having trailed twice in the game.
Rangers spilled two points at Easter Road earlier in the season when they had two men sent off and conceded an injury time goal.
