  1. 'It looks like Jack has never been away'

    HT: Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Kenny Miller
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    Ryan Jack is the type of player that can take the game by the scruff of the neck. It is his first start in a while and it looks like he has never been away.

  2. 'Hearts can't keep the punting the ball'

    HT: Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Craig Levein
    Former Hearts manager on BBC Sportsound

    Hearts can't keep punting the ball, they need to string three or four passes together to hurt Rangers. Although it is difficult when the opposition are putting so much pressure on you.

  3. HALF-TIME Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    It's been one-way traffic at Ibrox, with Rangers fired up and well on top.

    Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent have been very lively up front and those two combined well for the opening goal.

    Kent has also gone close with two shots.

  4. Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Hearts striker Liam Boyce does well to keep the ball away from a couple of Rangers defenders then threads a pass through for Alex Cochrane to chase down in the box, but Connor Goldson gets across to make a timely block.

  5. 'Hearts cannot keep turning the ball over'

    Kenny Miller
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    It's an unorthodox save, Morelos' shot could have spilled into the goal there. Hearts cannot keep turning the ball over in their own half.

  6. GREAT SAVE!

    Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Alfredo Morelos is in the mood today as he plays a neat flick forward then powers off a shot from a short James Tavernier pass. Craig Gordon reacts well to knock it away with his feet.

  7. 'If he goes down, it's a penalty'

    Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Craig Levein
    Former Hearts manager on BBC Sportsound

    There's a tug on his shirt in the box there, if Kent goes down it's a penalty.

  8. Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    More pressure from Rangers as Ryan Kent ghosts past Nathaniel Atkinson to cut the ball back. John Lundstram can't quite fashion an opening for a shot though, shuffling past a couple of challenges but running out of space.

  9. Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Scott Arfield almost bursts through the middle and Toby Sibbick does well to get a foot in. Moments later, the ball breaks to Ryan Jack on the edge of the penalty area but his shot lacks the power to trouble Hearts goalie Craig Gordon.

  10. 'Rangers in ascendancy'

    Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Kenny Miller
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    Rangers are in the ascendancy now. The game was frantic to begin with, but Rangers have really settled and now have the majority of the possession

  11. Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    A free-kick to Rangers, 30 yards out in a central position. James Tavernier has a go but the shot is too high.

  12. YELLOW CARD

    Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Hearts midfielder Cammy Devlin is howling as Calvin Bassey follows through on a strong tackle.

    The big left-back got a nibble on the ball then a good chunk of Devlin's shin.

  13. 'It should be 2-0'

    Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Kenny Miller
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    Ryan Kent has actually sold me a dummy there! I thought he was going right but he goes left instead. He has to score from that position though, Hearts will know they've ben let off there, it should be 2-0.

  14. CLOSE!

    Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Inches away from a second Rangers goal...

    Alfredo Morelos bamboozles the Hearts defence with a cute reverse pass. Ryan Kent chops inside once more and, again, his shot slides just wide of the far post.

  15. Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Hearts enjoy a good spell of possession but they're not making much headway.

  16. 'Morelos makes the difference'

    Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Craig Levein
    Former Hearts manager on BBC Sportsound

    Rangers have really lacked up front recently. Morelos' pace and power has really been the difference so far today.

  17. Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Joe Aribo scored a beauty from around the same position at Tynecastle in December but this time the Rangers midfielder drags his shot wide after running on to a good pass from Scott Arfield.

  18. Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Barrie McKay lofts a cross into the Rangers penalty box and Aaron McEneff gets there first, but he doesn't get enough on the ball and it bounces through to goalkeeper Allan McGregor.

  19. 'That's where Morelos should be'

    Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Kenny Miller
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    Absolutely wonderful goal. Kent put it on a plate for Morelos. That's where Alfredo should be - in the penalty area and scoring goals.

  20. goal

    GOAL Rangers 1-0 Hearts

    Alfredo Morelos

    Calvin Bassey opens up the Hearts defence with a lovely pass down the left channel for Ryan Kent to chase.

    The winger whips over a cracking cross and Alfredo Morelos comes sliding in at the back stick area to divert the ball home from close range.
