After setting an unwanted losing record and falling to defeat at Celtic Park at the weekend, Rangers will be keen to put things right in their final home game of the season.
Mickey Moore had given Rohl’s side the lead after just nine minutes, but a Yang Hyun-Jun goal 14 minutes later and a Daizen Maeda brace including a sensational overhead kick condemned Rangers to their fifth league loss of the season, while also keeping their rivals in the title race with Hearts.
With the Gers out of the title race and just two league games remaining, they have been forced to settle for a third place finish, their lowest in the Scottish Premiership since the 2017 2018 campaign.
Despite what has been a poor end to the season, credit has to go to Rohl who took the reins at Ibrox with his side 13 points off top place and just three above the bottom two following Russell Martin’s departure back in October.
Strong form over the festive and New Year period had seen Rangers go top on goal difference at one stage before Hearts played the following day, highlighting the extent of the recovery during his 38 games in charge.
For the midweek clash, the Scottish giants remain without Ryan Naderi who missed the trip to Celtic but should otherwise have a fully fit squad available to them.
As for Hibernian, they secured a third place finish last season under David Gray but have been unable to replicate that position this time around, although there is still a chance they could finish with a higher points tally.
Hibs began the league split with defeats to both Hearts and Celtic before returning to winning ways with a 3 1 victory over Falkirk.
Josh Campbell struck twice within the opening 20 minutes before Jordan Obita added a third before the break to move closer to claiming European football for the 2026-27 campaign.
Should Martin O’Neill’s side win the Scottish Cup final against Dunfermline at the end of May, then fifth place would become a Conference League spot. Hibernian currently occupy that position but enter their final two games four points behind Motherwell, who sit a place above and are on course for that European spot themselves.
The away side travel to Glasgow without defender Munashe Garananga and midfielder Josh Mulligan due to injury, while Jamie McGrath will continue to serve his suspension after being sent off against Celtic two games ago.

Whispers predicts: Rangers 3-1 Hibernian
Recent form for both sides makes this a tough one to call, with that said we expect Rangers to return to winning ways. A home win is priced at 1/2.
Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of both sides' last three matches, we expect the same to happen again which is priced at 4/7.
Mickey Moore scored last time out to take his tally to seven for the season, another goal for him here comes in at 7/4.
