Rangers take on Hibernian at Ibrox this afternoon, in their third post-split SPL fixture.
Steven Gerrard’s squad have found it tough going against the Hibees so far this season, failing to beat them in three previous attempts.
On each occasion, profligacy in front of goal has been costly. Now, there’s a chance to put that right and lay down a marker ahead of next season.
Heading into this one, form couldn’t be much better. Four wins on the trot and a perfect April was enough to earn both the manager and a star player, prestigious accolades on Friday.
Therefore, there was never likely to be wholesale changes for this one.

The England international has got the nod, with El Bufalo providing an exciting option from the bench.
Elsewhere, there were availability concerns over Ryan Jack and Gareth McAuley.
It seems that was just a scare for Jack though, as he starts in midfield.
Meanwhile, Borna Barisic returns to the bench while Lee Wallace and Glenn Middleton drop out of the squad.
Here’s a selection of reactions to the starting XI:
