🔵 Rocky Start For Rangers

After kicking off their campaign with four straight draws, Rangers have made their worst start to a league season in 42 years. Such a poor start to the campaign, coupled with a 9-1 aggregate defeat to Club Brugge in the play-off round of Champions League qualifiers, means new manager Russell Martin is already under mounting pressure.

While a 0-0 draw with Celtic before the international break has done enough to keep the wolves at bay for now, there were very few positives for Rangers to take away from that performance, other than avoiding defeat and keeping a clean sheet. Rangers could only muster up four shots against Celtic, with none of those efforts hitting the target.

🔴 Hearts Flying High

It’s no surprise to see Hearts heading in the right direction under Derek McInnes. Having taken 10 points from a possible 12, the Jam Tarts are currently keeping pace with Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership standings.

With Rangers struggling for form and looking bereft of confidence right now, high-flying Hearts will smell blood here and be hoping they can pile more misery on Russell Martin and Co.

Hearts will arrive at Ibrox having scored a league-high 10 goals in this season’s Scottish Premiership, striking at least twice in each of their four top-flight outings this term to date.

📊 Rangers v Hearts H2H

With Hearts failing to finish inside the top-six of last season’s Scottish Premiership table, it meant that the two teams met just three times in the top-flight last term.

The pair played out a goalless draw at Tynecastle on the opening day of last season before Rangers recorded 1-0 and 3-1 victories in the two fixtures that followed.

It is worth noting though that both teams are now under new management, not to mention there was a huge turnover of players at both clubs during the summer transfer market. Therefore, it’s difficult to read too much into the recent head-to-head record.
