Hibernian vs Rangers: A Historic Rivalry Continues
The longstanding rivalry between Hibernian and Rangers took another dramatic turn, highlighting both clubs' form in the Scottish Premiership. Recent statistics paint a picture of Rangers' dominance, with Hibernian still struggling to break their winless streak against the Gers. In fact, Hibs have lost their last eight encounters with Rangers in all competitions, a frustrating stretch that has only been matched twice in history—once in November 1999 and again in January 2004, both times by a sequence of nine consecutive defeats.
Rangers, on the other hand, have been formidable in their trips to Easter Road, remaining unbeaten in their last 13 visits to Hibernian. Their record in these encounters stands at eight wins and five draws, tying their longest-ever unbeaten away run at Hibs. This impressive run highlights the challenges Hibernian face when up against their more illustrious foes.

Despite these stats, Hibernian has shown resilience in their home fixtures, winning their last two league games. This marks a stark improvement, as their form had been more erratic before this, with just two wins in their previous 11 home matches, alongside four draws and five defeats. This could signal a shift in Hibs' fortunes, especially with Rangers' formidable record against them in recent years.
Rangers themselves have been consistent in league play, losing only one of their last nine fixtures. This solid run of six wins and two draws has been accompanied by defensive stability, as Rangers managed to keep six clean sheets during this period. Their overall dominance on the field is undeniable, especially with key players like Danilo, who has proven himself a crucial impact player. He has scored in his last two substitute appearances, making a name for himself as a vital part of the Rangers squad. Not far behind is Hibs' Dwight Gayle, who has also made a habit of scoring from the bench, finding the back of the net in three of his last five substitute appearances.
As both teams head into their next encounter, the pressure is on Hibernian to break their losing streak and put up a fight against a Rangers team that continues to dominate Scottish football. With both clubs having key players capable of changing the game in an instant, the next meeting between these two promises to be another thrilling chapter in their historic rivalry. Will Hibernian find the breakthrough they so desperately need, or will Rangers extend their dominance and continue their unbeaten run at Easter Road? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—this is a match no fan will want to miss.
