Match preview

Hearts and Rangers traditionally provide fireworks when they meet and referee Steven McLean could be a busy man at Tynecastle.

New Hearts boss Daniel Stendel has brought in a high-intensity, pressing game as he desperately tries to get them off the bottom of the Ladbrokes Premiership.

With Steven Gerrard's Gers happy to go toe-to-toe with any side offering up a physical approach, it could be a feisty clash.

In their three meetings this season, there have been five, six and eight bookings and with Rangers' title aspirations and Hearts' struggle to survive in the spotlight, it could pay to back a high card tally.

Key stat

Rangers have won nine of the teams' last ten meetings.

Team news

Hearts
The Jambos look set to hand a debut to new signing Liam Boyce. Peter Haring, Jamie Brandon and Callumn Morrison are injured. Michael Smith and Aaron Hickey are doubts.

Rangers
Alfredo Morelos is suspended. James Tavernier, Greg Stewart and Filip Helander are out.
