*****The Official Rangers vs Hearts Match Thread *****

[toolongawake 1,205]

No midweek game this week so decent weeks rest and recovery before we go again.

Full strength team to put further pressure on celtic on Sunday.

   

               Butland

Tav  Goldson  Balogun  Yilmaz

       Lundstrum  Lawrence

McCausland  Cantwell  Cortes

                   Silva

[.Williamson. 82,227]

Butland 

Tav Goldson Souttar Yilmaz 

Lundstram Sterling

McCausland Cantwell Cortes

Silva

Tbh I would be happy with Diomande or Lawrence being in midfield alongside Lundstram and would be fine with Cortes on the right and Matondo on the left if he’s available.

Put Silva up top simply because Dessers is fucking grim 

[stuart1994 4,303]

Don't care who plays, got full faith in Big Phil to get it spot on. Good chance to put some serious pressure on them before they go to Motherwell on the Sunday. Can't wait for it tbh.

[bluenoz 30,843]

Can't even begin to predict our midfield next week. It has become the strength of the team.

[BelfastWillie 1,020]

Huge game, yet another huge game, v a Hearts who are firing on all cylinders. This is a thrilling season. 

[G.E.C. 18,778]

Homer and Barts

[stuart1994 4,303]

Can already imagine they'll be some buzz about Ibrox next week, hopefully the players thrive off it.

[STEPPS BOY 73,923]

Hearts are shite.

3-0 win.

[DeanMK 4,670]

A comfortable win to send that lot to Motherwell with a 5 point deficit. 

[BookWorm 4,125]

The magnitude of the win in this one all depends on how many Big Phil wants to beat them by, so pick your team and goal difference accordingly.

[tom1780 1,218]

3 pts 

3 goals

1 pen 

1 var 

Clean sheet

Up the road ✔️

[ForeverAndEver 71,502]

Butland

Tavernier Goldson Souttar Yilmaz

Lundstram Diomande

McCausland Cantwell Cortes 

Silva

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,725]

They'll come here as confident as any Scottish team we'll play this season. Hopefully they have a go, an open game will suit us.

Can't drop points and undo all the good work. I'm sure we won't. 

[6superbarry6 14,159]

Going to be a long week waiting for this, changed days from when watching us was a chore, can’t wait for our next game now. 

[MacBoyd 5,440]

Will be some atmosphere, two best teams in the country last few months

 

[psb07158 33,274]

Playing the 2nd best team in the country next Saturday with (IMO) the best goalscorer. 

5-0 Rangers HWFG

[SPWF 8,232]

Watery Farts IMO.

Miovski is a far better player than shankland imo.

On topic I will be happy with any kind of win to pile the pressure on them. 

I'd also just like to take the time to say what a fucking tremendous job the boss has done. After the mess he walked into at no point could I envisage us sitting top of the league, trophy in the cabinet and still in Europe. Fantastic 

[plymouthranger 3,872]

Seriously think the tarriers will drop points against Motherwell if we do the business. 
 

Scoreboard pressure. 
 

Just get the 3 points. I’d be tempted to keep Cantwell and Lawrence in the middle and put Cortez and McAusland either side of Dessers. 
 

If it’s a tight game, having Matondo, Silva to come off and run at them at full pelt, should make the difference. 

[STRUTH82 813]

It will be a tough game, we definitely have to be more ruthless in front of goal, as like the sheep they do carry that threat up top themselves so no guarantee of a clean sheet.

Every chance they do, needed a last minute goal to salvage 3 points against them last time at fir park and dropped points when Mothewell went to parkhead. Hard game for them.

[Blacky Bear 868]

PC has this, whole squad is in harmony.

Everyone gets a chance but if your not on it, your off.

Never throws anyone under the bus.

What I have noticed subs are all ready to come on, even held back at times, no fucking about wa tape socks and pish.

[superallysbears 7,583]

Going to be a long week as some have said, at least we're at the summit 🇬🇧

[Broxi 11,484]

For all the feel good factor around the place, one slip up and we lose our advantage immediately, and a game at Tynecastle in their current form is by no means going to be easy. Got to stay focussed and get right up for this as it will be a battle
