Billy Dodds
Former Scotland striker on SportsoundAs expected just with the personnel they just slot into shape. It will be interesting to see how the Hearts central three, with a lot of youth in there, Cocharan against the experience of Arfield, Ejaria getting forward - they'll have to match the runs. Rangers as you would think have Grezda wide on the left Candeias on the right Morelas up front with that solid back four at the back

Hearts v Rangers (12:00)
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard told RangersTV: "We just have to forget about the rest of the league and worry about us.
"We have to perform well there to get a result. We know it's a hostile environment, it's a tight pitch and Hearts have a really good season so far.
"We are under no illusions it's going to be a tough game, certainly on the back of a European fixture. We need to try to find a tough performance."
