    I think we are going to see this style from Hearts until the end of the season. They need to go for it and get points on the board. They've competed as well they can, but that's left gaps for Rangers to exploit

    It remains goalless at Tynecastle but it's proved a pulsating encounter. Rangers have spurned a couple of good chances but Premiership basement side Hearts are providing a stern test.

    Steven Naismith and Liam Boyce are proving a headache for the visitors.

    Hearts can be pleased. They've not had many chances to score but the effort and endeavor has been there. If they can maintain this for 90 minutes they give themselves a chance

    Rangers look really good on the counter attack, they are just soaking up the pressure. They look happy to sit back and hit on the counter so far

  11. Both sides trading attackspublished at 25 mins

    Hearts 0-0 Rangers

    We may not have a goal at Tynecastle yet but it's a fascinating contest between two sides who are happy to go direct in pursuit of the opener.

    Sean Clare is bombing forward for the hosts down the right, while Ryan Kent is looking dangerous for Rangers.

    It's a huge opportunity again for Rangers. Aidy White does well to put Joe Aribo under pressure but he should still score

  13. CLOSE!published at 19 mins

    Hearts 0-0 Rangers

    This game is wide open. Rangers absorb a Hearts attack before launching a counter of their own. Joe Aribo is clean through on goal after a clever headed pass by Ryan Kent but delays his shot and his eventual effort drifts wide.

    It's been scrappy so far, but I think that's because the intensity of the game. There's players on top of each other forcing misplaced passes

    For me Ryan Kent should score. He's just got to get his head over it. It's a big let-off for Hearts

    Liam Boyce thinks he's scored on his Hearts debut but the striker's flagged offside as he tucks the ball under Allan McGregor and into the net.

  17. CLOSE!published at 12 mins

    Hearts 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers should be ahead. Ryan Jack spots Ryan Kent scampering down the right and threads a superb ball through to the winger.

    But Kent blazes his shot over the bar with the Hearts defence all at sea. What a chance.
