Rangers, Recent FormIn their last match Rangers enforced their superiority over Hibernian with a 4-0 home win. During that encounter they had 53% possession and had 23 attempts on goal with 8 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 7 shots on goal.
Manager Philippe Clement will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games whilst also keeping a clean sheet in 4 of those games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Abdallah Sima will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Rangers.
Hearts, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 4-1 home defeat by Celtic, Hearts manager Steven Naismith will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. In that game they had 42% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Celtic who had 19 attempts and 7 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Naismith will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Lawrence Shankland is the man of the moment at Hearts right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
Rangers will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 18 encounters with The Jam Tarts. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, The Gers have shown they know their way around the Hearts defence having scored 13 times against them in those 5 matches.
In the past Rangers have managed to keep the visitors in this home league fixture in check, being unbeaten for 13 games in a row.
Rangers manager Philippe Clement has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. José Cifuentes (Knock), Steven Davis (Cruciate ligament), Kieran Dowell (Knee), Tom Lawrence (Calf) and Rabbi Matondo (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Steven Naismith has a number of injury concerns in his Hearts squad to contend with: Nathaniel Atkinson (Ankle), Alex Cochrane (Ankle), Craig Gordon (Broken leg), Craig Halkett (Knee), Stephen Kingsley (Groin), Barrie McKay (Knee) and Yutaro Oda (Knock)
