Philippe Clement savoured his first win over Celtic as Rangers stormed to a 3-0 Ne’er Day derby win at Ibrox.
But the feel-good factor could quickly disappear should Gers’ away woes continue this weekend at Easter Road. The Light Blues have won just three of their nine league fixtures on the road in 2024/25 and it’s a dire statistic that has seen them slip 11 points behind their Old Firm rivals.
Hibs won’t make it easy for them either, as David Gray’s resurgent side begin to find their feet after a woeful start to the campaign. The Hibees have tasted just one defeat in their last eight – a 3-0 drubbing at Parkhead – and their fans would love nothing better than to get a long-awaited win over Rangers. Here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know ahead of the box-office clash in Edinburgh.
