History of the Hibernian v Rangers fixture

Hibernian prepare to entertain Rangers at Easter Road Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 68 of the 143 previous games, with the The Hibees winning just 34.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was earlier this season, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish F.A. Cup match.
