Hibernian v Rangers preview

Hibernian v Rangers preview

Published Dec. 9, 2011 6:17 p.m. ET

Manager Pat Fenlon has a near full-strength squad to select from as he prepares for his home debut. Midfielder and club captain Ian Murray this week underwent a scan on his injured hip, which came back clear, but he remains out. Striker Garry O'Connor recovered from illness to play in the match at Motherwell, which was abandoned at half-time, and is fully fit. Kyle Lafferty has been rated doubtful for Rangers with a back problem. There is also a question mark over defender Kyle Bartley who has a chest infection but he has a better chance of making the trip to Easter Road. Defender Carlos Bocanegra and full-back Lee Wallace are both in contention after recovering from injury but winger Sone Aluko is suspended. Hibernian (from): Stack, Hart, Towell, O'Hanlon, Hanlon, Sproule, Wotherspoon, Palsson, Osbourne, Scott, O'Connor, Sodje, Galbraith, Griffiths, Agogo, Brown, Stevenson, Stephens, Booth, Thornhill. Rangers (from): McGregor, Whittaker, Bocanegra, Goian, Broadfoot, Davis, Edu, Bedoya, Hemmings, McKay, Fleck, Lafferty, Jelavic, McCulloch, Alexander, Bartley, Wylde, Wallace, Bendiksen.
