Hibs boss David Gray admits he has the Old Firm in his sights, with the Easter Road side targeting a home win over Rangers - and aiming to catch reigning champions Celtic in a climb up the Scottish Premiership. Victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie yesterday saw Hibs return to third place in a chaotic topflight table, writes

- John Greechan.

They're two points clear of Rangers, who head to Edinburgh on Wednesday night, and just three behind second-placed Celtic. In a season of upset expectations and shock wins, Gray is eager that his players keep looking upwards.

The former club captain, celebrating back-to-back league victories for the first time this season, said: "You want to try and win every single game you go into. Rangers at home is always a difficult game but a brilliant game to be involved in.

"Fans will be there for a full house. They will get right behind us off the back of two very good performances, two very good results.
