Hearts v Rangers betting preview, tip, odds & TV channel

TV: Sky Sports Football, midday Saturday

Hearts' renowned physicality added to the controversy that seems to follow Rangers around could lead to cards at Tynecastle.

While Rangers' season is effectively over, Hearts still have the William Hill Scottish Cup final to play for next month.

And manager Craig Levein loves nothing more than a dust-up with his side launching missiles for striker Uche Ikpeazu to go for.

Hearts and Rangers are tenth and 11th in the 12-team Fair Play table and it's not hard to see why with 13 red cards between them.

Ref John Beaton flashed eight yellow cards on his last visit to Tynecastle when Hearts beat Aberdeen and he could be busy again.
