Hibernian face a trip to Rangers at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 97 out of 145 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.
