Rangers vs Hibs – LIVE updates
It feels like the longest five weeks in history for fans of the Scottish Premiership but a pre-Christmas cheer has arrived.
The top flight was shut down for the World Cup but now the action returns in rip-roaring fashion as one of the country's marquee fixtures gets us back underway. And it's all change at Rangers with Michael Beale the man tasked with eating into Celtic's significant nine-point advantage after Gio van Bronckhorst was shown the door.
But Hibs are likely to offer strong resistance against a side they grabbed a dramatic 2-2 draw with back in August. Lee Johnson is acutely aware a signature result is needed for a side who hit the skids before the international break.
Home punters are making the trip to Ibrox hoping Beale can usher in a new era as aims to warm the cockles of a fanbase who will be braving temperatures of -4 by the time the second half stars. A proper Bovril night if ever there was one. And the 42-year-old believes he is the man to right Rangers as he aims to build on his stint as Steven Gerrard's key lieutenant
The stakes are high and a win is of vital importance to both teams. You can enjoy all the drama with us LIVE.
