Clement has been handed a three-and-a-half year contract to replace Michael Beale, who was sacked at the start of the month following a poor start to the league campaign. Rangers sit in second place but trail defending champions and leaders Celtic by seven points. Hibs are also under new management and are undefeated in the five matches Nick Montgomery has taken charge of. However, his team’s credentials will be given a lot of scrutiny when they travel along the M8 to face the Glasgow club.
