Hibernian vs Rangers: Five could miss out on Easter Road clash amid injury latest
Rangers will look to build on their victory over Kilmarnock when they travel to Hibernian on Wednesday.
Danny Rohl earned his first win as Rangers manager when his side beat the East Ayrshire outfit at Ibrox on 26 October.
His side will make the trip to Easter Road on 29 October, hoping to climb the Scottish Premiership table and continue the revival.
Youssef Chermiti will look to build on his first Rangers goal in the contest, but several players may miss out for either side.
Rangers expected to have two players out vs Hibernian
Rangers have been branded as irrelevant in the title race, but they must keep fighting until they mathematically cannot win it.
They will have to continue that fight without Rabbi Matondo and Dujon Sterling, who are both expected to miss the clash.
The former is still recovering from a knee injury, and the latter is out until the new year with a ruptured Achilles tendon.
However, the Gers have no other problems heading into the contest, so Rohl could go with the same side that beat Killie.
Who are Hibernian missing for Rangers clash?
Hibs have injury issues themselves, and could also be without two players for the clash with the Gers.
David Gray confirmed that he will wait for “the dust to settle” after the 2-1 win over Aberdeen last time out, but captain Joe Newell is expected to miss out with a groin injury.
Alasana Manneh is out until next month with a hamstring issue, and Warren O’Hora is a doubt after coming off after 70 minutes against the Dons.
- Newell has not featured since December 2024
- Manneh has only started one game this season in the league
- O’Hora has started eight of a possible nine matches so far this season
Given the issues that the hosts have with important players, and the fact that the Light Blues’ injuries are to fringe players, they should fancy their chances to secure victory.
If Rohl is to continue the momentum, then he needs his side to make a statement and beat Hibs with ease in midweek.
