Rangers will look to use one of their two games in hand on Celtic to cut the eight-point gap to the leaders, while Hibs are 14 points behind third placed Hearts with two games in hand on their Edinburgh rivals.

The previous meeting between the sides this season ended in a 4-0 win for Rangers at Ibrox on October 21.
