Rangers v Hearts is next up in the calendar in one of the biggest games of the Scottish Premiership season so far.
The Edinburgh club sit eight points clear of Rangers and sit top of the league with a game in hand. Rangers languish in 7th and the game is suddenly a must win after other results in the league yesterday.
Hearts have made a flying start to the season and have already beaten Celtic back in August. Rangers at Ibrox pose a different threat completely. At their home ground Rangers have looked unstoppable but the Govan club will need to be at their best to get a result later today.
Craig Levein has already said Hearts are ready to show up and get a result. Steven Gerrard and Rangers will be buoyed by a massive win in the Europa League against Rapid Vienna, and if the fans can get the ground rocking like Thursday Hearts will have a real challenge on their hands.
I fully expect Gerrard to go full strength against the Gorgie outfit. There are a few difficult decisions to make but after Livingston, Gerrard will be eager to find consistency. Here’s our predicted XI. There’s only two changes from Thursday. Worrall for Katic, and Barisic for Flanagan.
Rangers v Hearts is always a big game, but this match today has added significance after a mixed start to the domestic season for Rangers.
