Rangers vs Hibernian live stream: how to watch Scottish Premiership clash on TV and online

Rangers return to Scottish Premiership duty this weekend as they host Hibernian at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon - with new boss Philippe Clement looking to get his reign off to a winning start.

The Belgian, who was appointed as Michael Beale’s successor on a three-and-a-half year contract on Sunday, adressed the media for the first time this week after meeting the first-team squad and staff behind the scenes.

The former Monaco, Genk and Club Brugge boss spoke about his desire to make Rangers the best team in the league by following his ‘four pillars’ plan to transform the club - technical, tactical, physical & mental. However, Clement conceded he has a lot of work to do to get the Light Blues in to a stronger position to challenge defending champions Celtic for silverware.

First up on that journey is a tasty home encounter against a Hibs side who are undefeated since Nick Montgomery took over the hot seat at Easter Road, winning two and drawing three of his opening give matches in charge.

The sides faced each other on four separate occasions last season, with the Gers coming out on top of three of those meetings. Hibs last tasted victory in Govan back in 2018, when John McGinn and Jamie Maclaren were on target in a 2-1 win.

What is the latest team news?

Rangers will have Todd Cantwell fit and available for selection after the versatile attacker returned to training after a six-week period on the sidelines due to a knee injury. The former Norwich City man has been out of action since sustaining the problem in the closing stages of the Old Firm derby loss to Celtic.

Danilo is also back in full training and was spotted wearing a protective face at the club’s Training Centre on Tuesday. The Brazilian striker is on the comeback trail after fracturing and undergoing surgery on his cheekbone.

It remains unclear whether Ryan Jack, Kieran Dowell, Leon Balogun and Tom Lawrence will be deemed fit enough to make the matchday squad, but winger Rabbi Matondo is sidelined until mid-November with a knee problem.

Hibernian could be boosted by the return of Jake Doyle-Hayes and Jojo Wollacott from recent setbacks, but long-term absentees Chris Cadden (Achilles) and Harry McKirdy (heart) are out. Dylan Levitt (Wales), Rocky Bushiri (DR Congo), Martin Boyle and Lewis Miller (Australia) were all away on international duty and are being assessed.
