Hibs head coach David Gray believes Easter Road is “the last place Rangers would want to go” despite being on a high after their win at the Old Firm against Celtic.
Philippe Clement takes his side to the capital on Sunday to face the Scottish Premiership's fittest side, live on Sky Sports.
They are unbeaten in their last five games after a dismal start in which questions were raised about Gray's position just months into his first permanent managerial job.

Hibernian manager David Gray is thinking about winning the Scottish Premiership Manager of the Year award in December.
And the former Hibs captain is challenging his players to continue their streak and break into the top six.
“It's going to be a really good game to look forward to,” said the Premiership manager of the month for December Sky Sports News.
“I think that's one thing I would say – I think the last place Rangers would want to go at the moment is an in-form team in the league, which is ourselves, so that's the confidence we've got to take from that.
“Yes, they are off the back of a fantastic win in the Old Firm game, but we have to take confidence from the position we've put ourselves in and how we've been playing lately and take that confidence into the game. It's going to be difficult, but if we can play to the best of our ability , we know we're the right match for everyone.”

Highlights from the Scottish Premiership match between Rangers and Hibernian.
Rangers defeated Hibs in their first league meeting of the season, winning 1-0 at Ibrox in September.
“We're in a very different place than when we played them last time, and I think that can only be a positive, but at the same time you can't take it for granted,” the head coach added.
“It's going to be a tough game, but the players really have to be looking forward to it, as I've already touched on.
“It's a very different game at home too.”
Jake Doyle-Hayes and Josh O'Connor have left the club since the transfer window opened on January 1, and Nohan Kenneh has returned to Ross County on loan until the end of the season.
Gray is hoping to get money this month to boost his team.

Hibernian's Dwight Gayle says he may reconsider his plans to retire, weeks after the former Crystal Palace and Newcastle United striker, 35, said he was considering hanging up his boots in the summer.
“I don't think you can really put a number on it. I think there will naturally be open windows.
“The work has been going on tirelessly for several weeks.
“(We're) always looking to be proactive in the window because you never know what can come up and we've always said that if the right thing can be done, the club have given me a lot of support on that front trying to make the team better – and if possible, I'm sure we'll do it.
“We've also got a lot of injuries to come back from, and when you add them to the group, we're in a healthy position. It's about keeping that momentum and positivity going forward now.”
