Hibs v Rangers team news

Hibs are set to include new attackers Emiliano Marcondes and Myziane Maolida for the first time, as long as the relevant paperwork comes through in time. They are still without eight players, however, as Martin Boyle, Lewis Miller, Jojo Wollacott and Rocky Bushiri remain on international duty and Josh Campbell (ankle), Adam Le Fondre (hamstring), Jake Doyle-Hayes (ankle) and Chris Cadden (Achilles) are still recovering from injury.

Rangers defender Connor Goldson is suspended for the trip to Easter Road. Ben Davies, Kemar Roofe and Danilo are all out through injury, as is Kieran Dowell who has had a successful operation after picking up a problem at the club’s winter training camp in Spain when his studs stuck in the grass, while Abdallah Sima was sent home from the Africa Cup of Nations with a long-term thigh injury.
