Rangers are top of the Scottish Premiership by two points and can extend it to five with victory over Hearts at Ibrox this afternoon.
Philippe Clement’s side have won all of their last nine games in all competitions and the Belgian is getting the absolute best out of his first-team squad at the moment.
The consistency is extremely encouraging and it’s something the green half of Glasgow are struggling to achieve as we enter the final twelve games of the title race.
Hearts are going to be very difficult opponents, however. Steven Naismith’s charges are unbeaten in twelve games, a run that was kickstarted with a tremendous victory over Celtic at Parkhead in December.
So the Edinburgh outfit know how to navigate their way past the best teams in the country away from home and will take confidence from that particular win. But as per Sofascore, they haven’t beaten Rangers since February 2020.
