Everything you need to know ahead of Scottish Cup quarter-final at Easter Road

Rangers continue their pursuit of a domestic treble when they travel to Easter Road to face Hibs in the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup quarter-finals on Sunday.

Having already lifted the League Cup in December, and with a current two-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premership, the Ibrox side are on course to emulate Celtic’s achievements of last season with a clean sweep of honours.

However, in a resurgent Hibs side, they face a tough hurdle to overcome in order to make it through to next month’s semi-finals at Hampden Park, with Nick Montgomery’s men on a five-match unbeaten run and looking a far stronger outfit since an influx of January signings.

Bournemouth loanees Emiliano Marcondes and Nathan Moriah-Welsh have added quality and bite to the midfield while Myziane Maolida has brought a spark to the forward line with four goals in his nine appearances thus far.

Rangers have little time to prepare for the match following Thursday’s highly credible 2-2 draw with Portuguese champions Benfica in Lisbon in the Europa League last 16 first leg. They are also nursing a number of injuries to forward players and had a setback in a 2-1 home defeat to Mothewell last weekend.

Hibs will fancy their chances but Rangers have been transformed into a formidable force since Philippe Clement took over from Michael Beale in October and few would bet against them edging through.
