Rangers vs Hibernian – Match Preview and Team News

Date: Wednesday, 13th May 2026
Kick-off: 8pm BST
Venue: Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow

It's matchday 37 in the Scottish Premiership, and all eyes are on two clubs with everything to fight for. Rangers, having suffered a series of disappointing results, want to turn their season around. Meanwhile, Hibernian seeks to build on recent form and secure European football next season.

Rangers Team News

In the wake of their recent three-game losing streak—including a heart-wrenching derby defeat—Rangers manager Danny Röhl finds himself under pressure. With injured players like Bailey Rice sidelined, questions loom regarding the fitness of key defender John Souttar, who faces a late test. However, there's a silver lining; forward Ryan Naderi and left-back Tuur Rommens have returned to the fold, providing much-needed depth.

With Oliver Antman and others supporting the attack, the tactical setup will likely hinge on fluidity, with players like Connor Barron and Mohamed Diomandé expected to drive the midfield.

Hibernian Team News

On the other side, Hibs are buoyed by the return of Josh Mulligan, adding a psychological edge as he re-enters the matchday squad after a prolonged injury layoff. Alongside him, Rocky Bushiri is set to play, but Hibs will miss the likes of Jamie McGrath due to suspension.

Expect Hibernian to adopt a solid 3-5-2 formation, utilizing a back three with Grant Hanley and Felix Passlack leading the defense. Strong midfielders like Allan Campbell are crucial for breaking up play and transitioning to attack.

Form Guide

Rangers

The spirits of Rangers fans have been dampened by a lack of victories lately. Their last three outings resulted in defeats against Motherwell (2-3), Hearts (1-2), and bitter rivals Celtic (1-3). With each setback, the pressure mounts on Röhl, who must inspire a turnaround if the club hopes to salvage some pride in the campaign.

Hibernian

Conversely, Hibernian enters this fixture riding a wave of mixed results. After a crucial 3-1 win over Falkirk, they've reignited hopes but still need consistency to secure a top-four finish. Currently sitting fifth, they're aiming to close the gap on Motherwell for the final European spot.

Predicted Lineups

Rangers: Butland; Sterling, Djiga, Fernandez, Rommens; Barron, Chukwuani; Antman, Moore, Chermiti
