Footymad preview History of the Hibernian v Rangers fixture

Hibernian prepare to entertain Rangers at Easter Road Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 74 of the 151 previous games, with the Hibees winning just 34.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2011, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Hibernian's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Hibees have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Rangers's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the Gers, and 3 goals against.

Hibernian are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 14 points from 16 matches.

Rangers are leading the way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, with their 17 games giving them a return of 42 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Hibees at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Gers come away with an easy victory. Away win
