Rangers Host Hibernian at Ibrox as McInnes Seeks Response

The match offers a chance to steady Rangers after a Europa League defeat.

Overview

  • The Scottish Premiership fixture kicks off at 4pm BST on Sunday at Ibrox and will be shown in the UK on Premier Sports 1 with U.S. viewers able to stream on Paramount+.
  • Rangers arrive under new manager Derek McInnes after a 2-1 Europa League loss and a run of poor results that have left the squad seeking its first win of the season.
  • Defender Ben Godfrey has been ruled out for around a month with a hamstring problem, and Olwethu Makhanya is likely to be drafted into the back line for his Ibrox debut.
  • Bookmakers make Rangers favourites at about 11-20 with Hibernian priced near 17-4 and previews point to late goals and fatigue from midweek travel as key factors.
  • The match will be an early test of Rangers’ depth and McInnes’s rotation choices, and it will also show whether Hibernian’s recent late goals in European qualifying carry over into league form.
