Goldson said: “I’ve heard Tynecastle is one of the best atmospheres in the country. There is nothing better than winning away, making the home fans quiet and hearing our fans.

“This is a proper away game with a team that don’t like Rangers, we don’t like them and we go there for three points.”

“Tynecastle is a great setup,” he said. “I don’t mind being close to the fans and getting banter from the terracing.

“Craig has a very well organised team who are physical and they will be desperate to get a good result.

“The narrow pitch is the same for both teams, it’s big enough for us to go there and play our match and it is no excuse for us.”
