Is Rangers vs Hibernian on TV? Stream details, kick-off time and team news for Scottish Premiership clash
and live on Freeview channel 276
Rangers bounced back from their heavy Old Firm derby defeat with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Hearts last weekend and fresh from that dismantling, they will face Edinburgh opposition for the second time in four days when Hibs visit Ibrox.
It has been a challenging start to 2022 for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side so far, having endured a slump in form which saw them surrender their lead at the top of the Premiership table to rivals Celtic.

What’s the team news ahead of Rangers vs Hibernian?
Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst revealed yesterday that Swedish defender Filip Helander is closing in on a return to action after almost five months on the sidelines.
The centre-back has not played since suffering a knee injury against St Johnstone in September but he has been back in training since the start of the year.
Helander is likely to miss out tonight but could make the matchday squad for their Scottish Cup visit to Annan Athletic this weekend.

Van Bronckhorst stated: “We have a strong squad, I’m really happy to have the luxury of a strong squad to select from.
“You want a settled team but you will also always have a need to rotate. Ramsey is not quite ready to start yet. You can see his quality in training and in his early minutes.
“He is improving every day and it is great to see the improvements in only a week.
