Is Rangers vs Hibernian on TV? Live stream, channel and highlights details

Rangers restart their Scottish Premiership campaign on Thursday night when they take on Hibernian.

The Gers have been out of action more than a month without competitive action, and they need to hit the ground running having slipped nine points behind leaders Celtic. But this game is also the start of a new era for Rangers, who sacked Givanni van Bronckhorst before replacing him with former QPR boss Michael Beale.

Beale makes his debut as Rangers boss on Thursday, and he will want a better result than the 2-2 draw these teams played out earlier this season.

What Michael Beale has said

Beale spoke after Rangers’ friendly clash with Bayer Leverkusen and spoke about recent injuries to Connor Goldson and Ben Davies. He said: “If everything goes to plan I will have four options not two on Thursday. It’s just where they’ll be at physically. I think the five subs might help us but certainly, I won’t rush them because we have got a busy period coming up.

“I was pleased with the two lads today; we have to remind ourselves that James Sands is playing out of position, and playing out of position very well on a day like today. And young Leon [Balogun], who has been thrown in.
