  2. 'It was a good reaction' - Van Bronckhorstpublished at 18:22 Greenwich Mean Time 6 February 2022

    FT: Rangers 5-0 Hearts

    Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst is thoroughly satisfied as he chats to Sky Sports.

    "We are very pleased, its a big win for us," he says. "They way we won and the attitude we showed, I'm really happy, it's a good reaction.

    "The key is to keep performing game in and game out, that's the key to the way we want to play, we have to keep this energy and there's a good chance to win [the league]."

    On Alfredo Morelos' excellent display, he adds: "We know Alfredo's quality and what he can bring to the team with his movement, he can give us more up front."

    Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson tells Sky Sports: "I actually thought we started the second half quite well and created some good chances, but when we lost the second we just sort of capitulated a bit.

    "It's disappointing. When you come to any good team, you need to take your chances and we had two or three."

  6. 'Always pressure at Rangers' - Arfieldpublished at 18:08 Greenwich Mean Time 6 February 2022

    FT: Rangers 5-0 Hearts

    "There is always pressure at Rangers," Ibrox midfielder Scott Arfield tells Sky Sports. "There's along way to go in the title race. There's lots of points to play for. It's going to be a cracking end to the season. We feel as if we can win every game.

    "Alfredo [Morelos] is a big player for us he should have had his hat-trick. He just scares defenders with his all-round ability and that wins games.

    "We knew it was going be difficult, Hearts create threats all over the pitch, but Alfredo scored in a key moment for us."

    FT: Rangers 5-0 Hearts

    Ryan Kent and Ryan Jack both shone for Rangers but Alfredo Morelos was the undoubted star of the show.

    The striker missed three games while away with Colombia and didn't kick a ball with his country, but he certainly made up for lost time with a performance full of power, pace and precision.

    He scored twice and had a hand in the other three.

    If you try to go toe-to-toe with the Old Firm and you get it even slightly wrong this is what can happen. Hearts have actually played really well in this match but they have capitulated late on.

    Fashion Sakala

    Ryan Kent flies down the right wing for a change and it looks like he's aiming a cross for the waiting Aaron Ramsey, but Fashion Sakala has other ideas as he meets the fizzing, low delivery and slots a composed shot into the corner of the net.

    This is a perfect time for Aaron Ramsey to come on. Your team is 4-0 up, there's no pressure and you can show the fans what you can do without any danger.
