Rangers are on a high after putting in their best performance of the season against Malmo in the Europa League on Thursday.

Philippe Clement’s men proved how good they really can be, albeit against a Swedish side who were extremely underwhelming on the night.

Rangers should have won by more than two goals, that was the only negative, but fans will be enthused by how well the team linked up on the ball and how organised they were defensively.

As such, supporters will be expecting more of the same at a packed out Ibrox against the Hibees. The Copland Road Stand will be opened fully for the first time this season which only serves as a huge positive for the Light Blues.

Hibs have just one league victory to their name so far this season so it’s imperative Rangers secure three points to keep the momentum going.
