Hibernian could make history on Sunday as they aim to beat Rangers for the second consecutive time in the Scottish Premiership. A win at Ibrox would be their first back-to-back victories over the Old Firm club since 2005, piling pressure on new Gers boss Derek McInnes.
Can Hibernian repeat their 2025 success?
Hibs defeated Rangers 2-1 in their last meeting, and another victory would see them match a record not achieved in nearly two decades. The Edinburgh side have had a mixed start to the new season, losing their first Premiership game 2-1 to Motherwell but overcoming Shkendija in the Europa Conference League qualifiers.
Why this match is critical for Rangers
Rangers are winless in their first two matches of the campaign and suffered a 2-1 defeat to Jagiellonia Bialystok in the Europa League. With McInnes under pressure, a loss to Hibs would deepen concerns among supporters. The Gers have won three of their last five meetings with Hibs but are winless in their last two.
What’s at stake for both teams?
For Hibernian, a win would be a statement of intent in the new season, while Rangers need a result to ease the growing scrutiny on McInnes. The match could also impact the title race, with Rangers currently 19 points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian. Hibs finished fifth last season with 51 points, scoring 51 goals and conceding 37.
Recent form and key stats
Hibernian’s recent form shows three wins, zero draws, and two losses in their last five matches. Their last result was a 0-1 defeat to Motherwell on May 16, 2026. Rangers, meanwhile, have struggled, losing their last two games.
