Rangers team news

Defender Leon Balogun is still not ready to return from his knock.

Filip Helander will return to full training next month after knee surgery and Nnamdi Ofoborh (heart issue) is also still missing.

Quotes corner

Hibernian manager Jack Ross: “The semi-final win has given the players a tangible reward for their performances against Rangers in recent times. We all believed we had performed well, and I think the people watching the games felt that, but we hadn’t won any of them.

“You need that to turn, and we did that at Hampden, and what it’s done is give us that increased belief that we can repeat it. We know we need to perform just as well, if not better, and the big moments need to go our way.

“Overall it’s just given us that extra belief and confidence. I think it was already there going into matches against Rangers, but certainly that result has helped us.”

Betting odds

Hibernian win: 11/2
