What channel is Rangers v Hibs on? Kick-off time, TV and stream details, team news

Just three days after putting five past Hearts, Rangers welcome their Edinburgh rivals Hibs to Ibrox as part of a packed Scottish Premiership midweek card on Wednesday.

Giovanni van Bronckhort’s men bounced back from last week’s meek display in the Old Firm defeat at Celtic Park with a powerful showing in Sunday’s 5-0 victory as Alfredo Morelos marked his return from international duty with a double, while Aaron Ramsey made his debut off the bench.

It was an impressive response from the Light Blues, who remain one point behind Celtic at the top of the table, and will be looking to take advantage of any potential slip-ups from Ange Postecoglou’s side, who are in action against Aberdeen at Pittodrie.

Hibs, meanwhile, are enduring a sticky spell under recently-appointed manager Shaun Maloney, with their last three league fixtures – all at home against Livingston, Hearts and St Mirren – yielding just one point.
