"Rangers travel to the capital on Sunday with a slightly unfamiliar feeling after they lost for the first time in more than a month in Porto on Thursday. Their hopes of Europa League progression were already over before the 3-1 defeat in Portugal, but it remains to be seen if it will dent their domestic momentum, which has been relentless since they were beaten at Tynecastle just before Christmas."
"Rangers have won all three matches against David Gray's side this season without conceding and Hibs have only won one of their past 28 Scottish Premiership matches against the Ibrox club. If they are to improve that head-to-head, Hibs will have to do so without Scotland striker Kieron Bowie, who has arrived in Milan to have his medical in advance of his proposed switch to Serie A outfit Hellas Verona."
Heart of Midlothian sit four points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership, with Rangers second and Celtic two points behind Rangers in third. Key weekend fixtures include Hearts at Dundee United, Hibernian hosting Rangers, and Celtic visiting Falkirk, while Motherwell travel to Livingston, Kilmarnock host Aberdeen and St Mirren face Dundee. Rangers suffered a 3-1 loss in Porto and are out of Europa League but have won six successive Premiership matches since a defeat at Tynecastle, scoring 13 and conceding two. Hibernian have struggled recently and will be without striker Kieron Bowie amid his proposed move to Hellas Verona.
