On Tuesday morning, Rangers conducted a press conference, followed by the Rangers Twitter account, to preview the upcoming league match against Hearts.

They are winless in their last five matches, drawing three and losing twice.
Steven Gerrard has a few selection headaches, with Alfredo Morelos suspended and a conundrum at left-back.
However, the choice of player accompanying him to the presser may suggest a change in the heart of midfield.

Glen Kamara sat alongside the manager, talking all things Old Firm and about how the squad is looking to move on quickly.

His role on Sunday was little more than a cameo. He came on to provide some fresh legs, replacing Ryan Jack with eleven minutes left on the clock.
The Finnish international was perhaps a little unfortunate to miss out on the starting line-up. He has barely put a foot wrong since arriving in January, but Ross McCrorie was given the nod based on his previous Old Firm display.

Few would have argued with that call, but it looks like Kamara could return to face Hearts.
Rangers are more likely to have to force the issue tomorrow night.
Therefore, the ex-Dundee man’s range of passing would come in handy, while he has already shown himself to be a very capable performer at Ibrox.
