Rangers prepare to entertain Hibernian at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday evening, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having chalked up an impressive 88 wins out of 133 previous matches.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ibrox Stadium was less than a year ago, in November 2002, the The Gers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
