Rangers continue their charge towards the Scottish Premier League title as they travel to Easter Road to take on Hibernian on Wednesday night.
Hibernian are actually one of only three teams to take league points off Rangers this season. Steven Gerrard's side played out a 2-2 draw against them on their last visit in September.
In their last game, Rangers thrashed Ross County 5-0, with five different goalscorers along the way. That was just the kind of reaction Gerrard would have hoped for after they dropped points away to Motherwell in the game before that, which finished 1-1.
Rangers are currently 23 points ahead of Celtic at the top of the SPL, even though they have played three games more than their Glasgow rivals at this point.
Hibernian are currently fourth, with 40 points from 24 games. On Saturday, they lost in the Scottish League Cup semifinal, as St. Johnstone breezed past them with a 3-0 victory.
In their last league game, they snapped a four-game winless run with a 2-0 win over Kilmarnock.
