    Rangers appear comfortable with their slender lead and, in truth, Hearts are struggling to create anything of note in the final third as they chase an equaliser.

    Hearts 1-2 Rangers

    Rangers could and perhaps should be 3-1 up. Ejaria whips in a sumptuous cross, Morelos is on the end of it... but he can't wrap his boot around the ball to force it home and his effort trundles out for a goal kick.

    He [Bobby Madden's] a good referee but I've always said he's got get around the pitch better. You can't referee from the centre circle. He runs in a straight line up and down the pitch. Even when it gets to the sides he tries to referee from a distance. It's his biggest problem

    Rangers come within a whisker of extending their lead with the Hearts defence all at sea. Eros Grazda controls inside the box but his effort is blocked by a frantic Marcus Godinho.

    By the rules of the game he [Clare] is a little but high, but he wins the ball. The Rangers players have got to stay away because it's never a sending off. I think it's a free kick .You'd have got away with that a few years back but not now

    Alfredo Morelos takes a tumble under the close attention of Christophe Berra. Nothing doing, says referee Bobby Madden.

    Seconds later, with the pantomime boos still ringing round Tynecastle, Morelos drags a shot wide of goal in front of the away supporters.

    Hearts are up in arms as Alfredo Morelos jumps into Christophe Berra - no booking for the Colombian as tempers fray at the beginning of the first half.

    "How many fouls can you commit in a game without receiving a yellow card," asks BBC Sportsound pundit Billy Dodds.

    I was watching the grappling as well - Gareth MacAuley's getting pulled by Christophe Berra. It could have been a penalty. Alfredo Morelos makes a lovely front post run and just flicks it. It's like slow motion, creeps in at that far post Rangers' response has been brilliant and celebrating those two goals in front of those Hearts fans is not helping matters.

    Maybe not. The goal may have been controversial, but Alfredo Morelos clearly isn't bothered. Will his strike see Rangers finish the weekend top of the table?

    Kyle: Great finish from Alfredo Morelos but he was definitely offside. Poor call from the linesman; it was an easy decision too, as it was straight in front of him. #bbcsportscot, external

    The visitors come roaring back from conceding an early Gareth McAuley own goal to lead at the break, courtesy of Connor Goldson's close range finish and a brilliant if controversial Alfredo Morelos flick.

    Time for a half-time breather before doing it all again in 15 minutes...

    Alfredo Morelos

    Rangers take the lead in controversial circumstances as Alfredo Morelos brilliantly feathers a cross into the far corner of the net from a menacing free kick whipped into the box.

    However, the Colombian marksman looked to be half a yard offside when he steered the ball home. Nevertheless, the visitors are jubilant and, as things stand, are moving top of the Premiership.
