Hibs vs Rangers LIVE score and goal updates from the Scottish Premiership clash at Easter Road

The Scottish top flight comes out of cold storage as Rangers travel across the M8 for a night under the lights with Hibs in Leith.

And it's rarely dull when these two clash at Easter Road with this meeting unlikely to be any different.

Both sides have two games hand on their respective city rivals as they look to close the gap. For the Light Blues they are eight points behind Premiership leaders Celtic while Hibs are 14 points behind Hearts, who came from behind to beat Dundee in a dramatic clash on Tuesday night.

So it's all to play for as they look to take advantage of these couple of games and make up ground on those leading the way in the top flight.

Nick Montgomery could hand a debut to new signing Emiliano Marcondes who arrived on loan from Bournemouth while Fabio Silva is in line for his first start since joining on loan from Wolves last month.

They’re a good team. They have one away on international duty and we have four. They’ve got a good squad and a very good team. They’re very direct in terms of getting at teams and getting forward. They have pace and some technical players, which is why they’re one of the top teams in the league.

We have to be ready for them but also concentrate on ourselves and the way we play. We know if we can play to the best of our ability then we can get a result against anyone. We’re at home in front of our fans, who have been fantastic, so we will be ready and we’re looking forward to it.

Abdallah Sima will be out 'long-term' after suffering an injury while on international duty with Senegal at AFCON.
