How Hearts could line-up against Rangers on Sunday with proposed new signing Liam Boyce
Hearts are hoping to make a double signing in time for Sunday’s Ladbrokes Premiership fixture with Rangers
Next up for Hearts as they look to win the points which will get them off the foot of the Ladbrokes Premiership table is second-place Rangers at Tynecastle on Sunday (3pm ko). Steven Gerrard’s men have won 14 of their last 16 league fixtures. One of the two times they slipped up in that run was their previous visit to Gorgie. Daniel Stendel has led Hearts to a run of three without loss and is hoping to add to his squad ahead of the match. A deal has been agreed with Barnsley for the loan of the versatile Toby Sibbick. The more intriguing one is the move for former Ross County striker Liam Boyce who is set to sign. Fans will be hoping the paperwork is completed in time and he is lining up in maroon and white. So how could Hearts line-up?
