Gers to narrow gap on leaders

Hearts start this round of Scottish Premiership fixtures with a seven-point lead at the top of the table but Rangers are in hot pursuit and the Ibrox side are predicted to reel in the leaders with a narrow victory on Sunday.

The Jambos have led the way in Scotland for most of the season and look to have steadied themselves following a slight wobble over October and November.

However, a 1-0 loss at St Mirren on their last road trip suggests they remain more vulnerable than they were earlier in the campaign and ever-improving Rangers are fancied to take advantage.

The Gers have made steady progress since Danny Rohl was appointed as manager in October and they are building up a head of steam as we approach the closing months of the season.

Rangers were beaten 2-1 by Hearts just before Christmas but have lost just one of their 13 matches since, a 3-1 defeat to Porto in the Europa League, which is by no means a disgrace.

Both meetings this season have gone Hearts’ way, but Rangers are fancied to turn the tables with a 2-1 win on Sunday.

Rangers have kept a clean sheet in eight of their last ten matches on home soil, and although extending that sequence against the leaders may be tricky, they can limit Hearts to just one score.
