Hibernian prepare to entertain Rangers at Easter Road Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 67 of the 141 previous games, with the The Hibees winning just 34.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2007, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3-3 draw in a Scottish Premier match.
