Hearts, Recent FormHearts had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 2-2 draw against St Mirren. They came away from that fixture with 56% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, St Mirren managed 14 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Steven Naismith will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. When playing at home this season, they've notched up 9 clean sheets.
They have been performing well at Tynecastle Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 10 home games.
Lawrence Shankland will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Tynecastle Park, having notched up 5 goals for Hearts in their last 6 league matches at home.
Rangers, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Rangers produced a stunning 5-2 home win over Dundee. In that game they recorded 62 % of the possession, with 31 attempts on goal, 13 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 11 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 34 of their 37 games this season.
The Rangers travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from James Tavernier, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Hearts will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Rangers, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 5-0 defeat.
It's been a long time since Hearts at home has managed to find the back of The Gers net, having failed to score against them in their last 3 encounters at Tynecastle Park. The Gers will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Hearts, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 21 meetings between the two. Goals come easy for Rangers when they travel to The Jam Tarts, having recorded 8 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2.67 goals per match.
Rangers has had a good run of league results away from home against Hearts, winning their last 5 meetings at Tynecastle Park and being unbeaten in their last 5.
Hearts manager Steven Naismith has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Craig Halkett (Knee), Peter Haring (Knee) and Calem Nieuwenhof (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
