I hope we do them again 👍

For the C&A ladies and gents going take care and enjoy the win.

Really looking forward to this as it will be another stern test of where we are at as a team.

This Rangers team arent great, but Rohl has steadied the ship and has them as a far more effective unit than Martin did.

If we can go there and get a positive result it will be another big statement in an already outstanding season.

Looking forward to seeing how our midfield and attack fare against a side that doesnt sit in to frustrate.

Have the feeling it could be a Tynecastlesque game!

[Ya Bezzer!]

We'll need to defend set pieces.  That's a big part of their game right now.

Haven’t lost at Ibrox since September 2023

JBA will have us going there with no fear. Be interesting as Rangers won't be sitting back like Dundee did so will make game more open.  I just fear about our forward line as they can't hit a barn door at the moment.

I would just love it if we won there 3 seasons in a row 

A draw here certainly would be a positive 

[wellfan]

2-2

[MJC]

1-0 home win. 
 

We’re not clinical or aggressive enough to win this.

[mio]

We really shouldn’t have any fear going there, we are a better footballing side than them and they are very iffy in a lot of areas. They’ve been stumbling through games but getting wins which is a little worrying but we should be going in there thinking will get something.

personally I’d be overjoyed with a draw against both of them and a win v st mirren. I’d rip your arm off for that right now.

Neither are they.

Not sure how I want their game today to end up. Maybe a draw ao both drop two points?

And that would leave us still above Rangers on GD.

[mio]

A draw would be a good result for us and I think a draw in the other game would suit me too. Means Aberdeen aren’t picking up 3 points and getting closer and I don’t want Celtic to jump 5 points ahead of us.

[texanwellfan]

Nice goal from Hearts. Rangers main threat seems to be Fernandez from set pieces and beat player looks to be Moore. 
im sure JBA will be more in depth than me 😂

[mio]

Rangers absolutely caving in… really interesting and also really funny 

[Orinoco]

Theres the difference between the top teams this season. Hearts front two score goals. They have also had a fair bit of luck.

The pressure will be really on Rangers next week if they do get beat today. They cant afford to lose against us.

[texanwellfan]

I’m hoping Fernandez will get a red and Moore gets injured. 

[Orinoco]

Seems Rangers are a set piece team. Some big laddies in the team.

Big laddies but the poorest Rangers team I have seen in my 50+ years. 
when their full back is the most dangerous player they have you know that they have problems.
they are there for the taking.

[Orinoco]

Without the officials they would be sitting bottom six. 

Set pieces and officials is all they seem to have.

They certainly give up alot of space for teams to exploit.

[weeyin]

If we adopt a similar approach to the Hibs game, by applying pressure to their defence, we have a chance. That continues to be their weak spot.

 

[Orinoco]

Even the best strikers miss sitters. Oh dear shankland what a miss.

[Orinoco]

Hearts should be at least 4 up.

Of course.

I think we notice it more when we are having so much possession, but if you watch a Man City game for example, even a beast of a goal machine like Haaland misses his fair share of "easy" chances.

I remember when Roberto Baggio broke the transfer fee world record. We played Italy in a World Cup qualifier (at Ibrox) and he was put through clear on goal with enough time to pick his spot. He almost put it out for a shy.
