Hearts will look to inflict further misery on beleaguered Rangers when they host them at Tynecastle in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday (kick off: 12pm).
Philippe Clement’s side enter the game in crisis mode following their embarrassing cup exit at the hands of Queen’s Park last weekend, and face a tough task as they travel to the capital to face a Hearts team that are unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions.
Both outfits have their injury concerns heading into the game, however, with up to 14 players potentially ruled out of the clash in Gorgie. Rangers have been able to welcome back Ridvan Yilmaz and John Souttar in recent weeks, and are hopeful of being able to include a key duo for this weekend’s fixture. Meanwhile, Hearts are sweating on the fitness of both Cammy Devlin and Lewis Neilson, who are both doubtful ahead of the game.
Ahead of the match at Tynecastle, The Scotsman brings you the early team news:
