Rangers return to Scottish Premiership action with a tough task against high-flying Hearts this Saturday, looking for their first league win of the season (kick-off: 3pm).
Four consecutive draws means that head coach Russell Martin has led Rangers to their worst start since 1983, though the same can’t be said for the man in the opposite dugout, with Hearts boss Derek McInnes leading his Tynecastle outfit to joint top of the league after an unbeaten start.
The home side go into the game on the back of a 0-0 draw with Glasgow rivals Celtic a fortnight ago, a result which Martin believed showed a willingness to fight for the badge. However, failure to beat the Jambos this weekend will put serious pressure on the head coach.
As for Hearts, a 2-1 comeback win over Livingston secured their third win in four games, with the only blot on their copybook so far being a 3-3 draw with Motherwell in August.
Both bosses will head into the game in Govan with a number of injury concerns, though up to six players could be in line to make a return, with two others set to debut.
