Everything you need to know ahead of Hibs’ trip to Govan
Hibs return to Scottish Premiership action this weekend against Glasgow rivals Rangers as manager David Gray looks to build some momentum from their European victory.
After losing their league opener 2-1 to Motherwell last week, Hibs defeated Macedonian side KF Shkendija on Thursday night by the same scoreline to get back to winning ways. Next up, they travel to Ibrox for their first domestic away fixture of the 2026/27 campaign.
The last time the sides met was back in May at the same venue, when Tottenham loanee Dane Scarlett tapped in from close range for an 89th minute Hibees winner. A similar scoreline at the weekend would go down a treat with the travelling fans - who are expected to travel in their numbers for the Premiership grudge match. For those not making the trip, the match has been selected for commercial TV broadcast. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Rangers versus Hibs:
