Hearts will face Rangers at Tynecastle on Sunday afternoon as both sides have the chance to capitalise on Celtic’s midweek slip up.
The Hoops’ defeat Dundee United means they now trail the Jambos by six points and are now only three ahead of their Old Firm rivals. Both Hearts and Rangers will go into the match on the back of successive victories.
In terms of injury news, there looks to be no fresh knocks for Derek McInnes, who will however be losing a winger to AFCON duty. The Hearts manager breathed a sigh of relief at Falkirk last weekend when both Cammy Devlin and Alexandros Kyziridis completed the match caution-free, meaning there’s no new suspensions for the Rangers clash. Although they will be without Harry Milne after he picked up his sixth booking of the season at Celtic Park.
