Rangers XI v Hibs confirmed as decision made on Matondo Morelos and Tillman ahead of PSV battle

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has named his Rangers XI to take on Hibs this afternoon.

It's the latest Premiership assignment for the Light Blues after starting their season with victories over Livingston, Kilmarnock, and St Johnstone. Hibs haven't won against Rangers at Easter Road in a Premiership match since 2006 and the Ibrox club will be keen to ensure it stays that way.

They'll know of the dangers presented by Lee Johnson's men though after Martin Boyle put them to the sword last year in Premier Sports Cup semi-final action. PSV await in the second leg of their Champions League play-off next week and squad calls have been made ahead of it. Alfredo Morelos is continuing his comeback to full fitness after a five-month lay-off with a thigh injury and boss van Bronckhorst has selected him on the bench/to start in the capital.
