Hibs are looking to book a return to Hampden this weekend when they take on Rangers at Easter Road in Scottish Cup quarter-final action.

Nick Montgomery has already had a taste of the national stadium as Easter Road boss this season. But defeat to Aberdeen in the Viaplay Cup semi-final left a bitter taste he will no doubt be keen to amend.

It doesn't get any tougher in terms of getting that chance though, as they take on a Rangers side who drew 2-2 with Benfica on Thursday. That opens up opportunity though, as they will play Hibs amid a raft of injury problems and less than than 72 hours after kick-off in Lisbon.

Montgomery meanwhile adds one more Hibs star to his injury list for the match, but other than that, he has a full bill of squad health. The Edinburgh Evening News runs through all the latest outs for both the hosts and Rangers ahead of this weekend.
