Hibernian v Rangers: top-six push meets title-chasing momentum | OneFootball

Hibernian host Rangers in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, 1 February 2026 at Easter Road Stadium, with the hosts defending fifth and the visitors pressing leaders Hearts in the title race.

Hibernian face a side that won both league meetings this season without conceding, 1-0 in Edinburgh in October and 1-0 at Ibrox in December. Rangers start the day second, while the Edinburgh club sit fifth.

Hibs' recent run has been mixed, with a win at Kilmarnock and a draw with Motherwell followed by defeats at Dunfermline Athletic and Falkirk. Rangers have four wins in five across competitions, including victories over Celtic and Aberdeen, with the only blemish a defeat at Porto.

The Hibees average 1.7 goals per game this league season, with 80.73% pass accuracy and 48% possession. Rangers have been stingy, conceding 0.7 per game with 10 clean sheets, while controlling 59% possession and passing at 84.73%. James Tavernier leads their league scoring with six, while Kieron Bowie and Jamie McGrath have eight and seven respectively for the hosts.

Wide delivery and dead balls could matter. Both sides cross regularly from open play, and Hibs have converted penalties at 85.7% from seven awarded. Rangers' defensive platform may allow them to build sustained pressure, while the Hibees could look to counter and target set pieces.

A win would keep Rangers' push for top spot on track, while victory for Hibs would strengthen their grip on the top six and could move them closer to the top four.
