Hearts v Rangers

Hearts vs Rangers Preview

Hearts will be looking to extend their promising unbeaten run to seven games overall in the Scottish top flight on Sunday lunchtime when they play host to second placed Rangers and having previously racked up a total of six goals in their last game, beating Dundee 6-0 away from home, Hearts will be brimming with confidence.

Rangers were subjected to one of the biggest shocks in Scottish Cup history last weekend when The Gers suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Championship outfit Queen's Park at Ibrox, so needless to say, Philippe Clement's side are expected to be highly motivated to return to winning ways in the Premiership on Saturday.

Four wins within their last six games overall in the domestic top flight gives Hearts their best chance of gaining something from this upcoming encounter at Tynecastle Park having racked up important wins against the likes of Motherwell, Dundee United, Kilmarnock and Dundee respectively.

In addition, Hearts have also kept three clean sheets within these previous four wins but despite their encouraging uplift in form and results, Neil Critchley's side still look to have their work cut out against a hurting Rangers outfit.

Hearts have managed to muster just five wins from their last 13 home games at Tynecastle Park, slipping to four defeats.

Rangers may have slipped up in one of the biggest shocks in the Scottish Cup last weekend against Queen's Park but it's back to the bread and butter of the Scottish top flight this Sunday when The Gers make their way to Edinburgh to take on Hearts at Tynecastle Park.

Philippe Clement's side will be looking to pick up where they left off in the Premiership this weekend after picking up a comprehensive 4-0 win at home against Ross County which also became Rangers' fourth league win on the trot and indeed, the visitors bring a useful looking eight-game unbeaten sequence into this encounter.

Five wins within their last eight matches in the Premiership includes a resounding 3-0 home win against Celtic in the Old Firm derby, while the bigger picture shows Rangers have been dealt just the single loss from their last 15 matches overall.

Having chalked up 10 wins within these previous 15 league matches in the domestic top flight, Rangers still pose a serious threat in the Premiership overall and indeed this Sunday against an in-form Hearts outfit.

Hearts v Rangers Verdict

Hearts will be keen to see how far they have come in recent weeks as The Jambos have produced some encouraging results lately in the Scottish Premiership but Rangers will be hurting after their Scottish Cup loss last weekend and having been unbeaten in each of their last 17 meetings against their hosts, Rangers look the more likely here.
