Hibs v Rangers on TV: Is the match being broadcast in the UK? How to watch Easter Road clash

Rangers interim head coach Barry Ferguson will aim to sign off on his time in charge at Ibrox with a third Scottish Premiership win in seven days as he takes his side to the capital to face in-form Hibs at Easter Road on Saturday.

Both sides enter the season’s curtain closer in positive mood, with David Gray’s Hibs securing third spot thanks to a battling 2-2 draw with St Mirren on Wednesday, while Rangers ended their home campaign with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Dundee United at Ibrox that saw Cyriel Dessers reach the milestone of 50 goals for the Gers.

While the result will mean little to the league table, with both sides unable to be dislodged from respective second and third spots, the two clubs simmering rivalry is sure to bring some much needed spark to an end of season dead rubber.
