    Rangers are so advanced and there is so much space for the full-backs to enjoy and at the moment they can just go where they want.

  3. Defoe for Ojopublished at 81mins

    Rangers 3-0 Heart of Midlothian

    Alfredo Morelos possibly thought he would have been denied a chance of a hat-trick as he saw Jermain Defoe warming up.

    However, it is Sheyi Ojo who makes way for the former England striker.

  4. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 79mins

    Rangers 3-0 Heart of Midlothian

    Uche Ikpeazu is unfortunate to have his cries for a penalty rejected by referee John Beaton as the striker crumples inside the box.

    It looks like he is clipped from behind by Borna Barisic and the Hearts striker possibly paid for being too dramatic with his dive!

    Plenty of Hearts fans are rolling out of Hampden, disappointment across their faces.

  6. Arfield on for Jackpublished at 76mins

    Rangers 3-0 Heart of Midlothian

    It's Ryan Jack's turn to receive a deserved standing ovation as the Scotland midfielder is replaced with Scott Arfield for the final quarter.

    Jack will have certainly impressed watching Scotland head coach Steve Clarke.

  9. YELLOW CARD (Wighton)published at 16:30 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2019

    Rangers 3-0 Heart of Midlothian

    It's constant pressure from Rangers now and Hearts forward Craig Wighton is the next to earn a booking as his side's frustration continues.

  10. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 68mins

    Rangers 3-0 Heart of Midlothian

    Alfredo Morelos hat-trick celebrations are cut short as the flag is up after his cute backheel finishes off a low Joe Aribo cross.

    It's a right elbow from Steven Naismith, a right arm across Connor Goldson. They're shaking hands now, but it's a wee bit naughty from me.

  12. YELLOW CARDS (Jack and Naismith)published at 66mins

    Rangers 3-0 Heart of Midlothian

    Steven Naismith reacts angrily to a dangerous Connor Goldson challenge and receives a yellow card after a bit of a war or words with Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack, who is also booked.

  13. Aribo on for Kentpublished at 65mins

    Rangers 3-0 Heart of Midlothian

    Ryan Kent gets a deserved ovation as he is replaced with Joe Aribo.

    The winger, just back from injury, has shown why Rangers paid £7m to Liverpool for the winger.

    Hearts are all over the place. They are in disarray. They don't know where they are supposed to be - they've lost structure

    Alfredo Morelos is so clinical. Hearts deal with it so badly defensively. He finds the little gap between post and goalkeeper - I'm afraid that looks like game over

    GOAL RANGERS 3-0 Heart of Midlothianpublished at 62mins

    Alfredo Morelos

    Alfredo Morelos' second goal of the game takes it beyond Hearts.

    Ryan Kent leaves Aaron Hickey for dead and rolls the ball to the Colombian striker at the front post and he has time to take one touch and find the net with his second.

    Rangers are heading for the final against Celtic.

    It seems to just be relentless pressure. Hearts are dealing with at the moment, but heads are down now in the middle of the park. They are looking for someone in maroon to take the game by the scruff of the neck

    Rangers 2-0 Heart of Midlothian

    Alfredo Morelos fires into the side netting as Hearts survive another assault on their goal.

    Hearts have talisman Steven Naismith on the field, but they have been unable to get the former Rangers forward on the ball.

    Rangers 2-0 Heart of Midlothian

    So close to a third for Rangers as Ryan Jack's volley comes bouncing off the turf and goalkeeper Joel Pereira has to claw it away from the top corner.

    Rangers 2-0 Heart of Midlothian

    Sheyi Ojo's shot is deflected wide and, from the corner, James Tavernier whips in a cross that spells further danger for the Hearts defence.

    A foul gives the maroon defence a breather, but it is is only a brief respite.
