Following the international break Hibs will head through to Glasgow to face Rangers for their first clash of the 2023/24 season. Nick Montgomery’s side will head to Ibrox off the back of a vindicating Edinburgh derby which saw the Easter Road outfit bounce back from a two-goal deficit to secure a 2-2 draw.
French forward Elie Youan scored two goals in under two minutes to bring the Hibees back to life and a necessary point was secured as they headed into the international break. It remains to be seen whether Rangers will have a manager by the time Hibs are welcomed at Ibrox but noise from the Gers suggest that a decision is imminent.
The Rangers board are reportedly making a final call between Kevin Muscat and Philippe Clement this weekend with the upcoming clash against the Leith-based side set to be their opening game as the Gers boss. Ahead of next week’s training, here is the latest injury news from Easter Road and Ibrox.
