Rangers will look to cut the gap between themselves and league leaders Hearts at the top of the Scottish Premiership this weekend as they welcome their title rivals to Ibrox on Sunday (kick-off: 4.30pm).
The sides have had contrasting weeks so far, with Danny Rohl’s side conceding late to draw 1-1 with 10-man Motherwell on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes’ depleted Hearts side dug out a dramatic 1-0 win over Edinburgh rivals Hibs at Tynecastle on Tuesday.
With the visitors able to open up an eight-point lead between themselves and Rangers with a win this weekend, the clash in Glasgow will prove pivotal to an enthralling title race, which looks set to go down to the wire.
