FootyMAD Glasgow Rangers match preview

History of the Glasgow Rangers v Hibernian fixture

Hibernian face a trip to Glasgow Rangers at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 88 out of 133 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2002, the The Gers carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
