    That's what the Rangers fans what to see, Kent taking on defenders. He's so sharp and his feet are good, he needs to give a better performance than Wednesday night.

    Rangers need to have a response. Any time you have an Old Firm loss you have to bounce back. Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be looking for a better performance.

    After a chastening Old Firm derby defeat on Wednesday, Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst tells Sky Sports: "The most important thing is to get back to winning ways. We worked hard the last few days to get back on track and make sure everything is in place today for the win."

    On the return of striker Alfredo Morelos from international duty, he adds: "Of course it’s a boost, he’s been a vital player for us and when he is playing with the quality he has it is always a miss. Happy he is back. We have to do one thing today and that’s win the game."

    FT: Motherwell 0-4 Celtic

    "I thought we dominated the game," a delighted Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou tells BBC Sportsound.

    "Tom Rogic was great, he was been great all year, he's scoring and creating goals and working hard.

    "We like to play a certain way. We don't want to be a team which grinds out results, we want to get the fans off their seats and have a good time.

    "I am paying attention to the table. We want to be relentless, we didn't come here to shut up shop after three goals, we want to get four, five, six. We will be doing that until the end of the season until we rest or we drop to the ground."

    One of those home draws for Rangers came when Hearts last visited Ibrox in mid-October.

    Craig Halkett popped up with a last-minute equaliser that day.

    Hearts actually played a lot better when the sides met at Tynecastle in December but shipped two early goals in a 2-0 defeat and missed several good chances in an end-to-end thriller.

    Rangers v Hearts (16:00)

    Giovanni van Bronckhorst has significantly altered his Rangers line-up after their Old Firm humbling in midweek.

    Out go Borna Barisic - who really struggled against Celtic - Glen Kamara, Amad Diallo and Kemar Roofe.

    Alfredo Morelos is back from international duty and leads the home line. Scott Arfield, John Lundstram and Ryan Jack, an impressive substitute in the derby, all come in.

    Marquee January addition Aaron Ramsey is in line for a debut off the bench.

    There is no place in the Hearts squad for Rangers pre-contract signing, John Souttar, who has been out injured.

    Ellis Simms and Andy Halliday drop out from the Edinburgh derby draw with Hibernian, to be replaced by Aaron McEneff and Alex Cochrane.

  20. 'Celtic flying at a vital time'published at 15:18 Greenwich Mean Time 6 February 2022

    Motherwell 0-4 Celtic

    BBC Sport Scotland at Fir Park

    Celtic aren’t just winning. They’re winning in a manner that their supporters are lapping up and the belief is surging throughout this side as a result.

    They have so many personnel options and the attitude and intent remains the same whoever is out there. It’s easy to overhype but they look like everything has come together at the perfect moment.

    You could pick out a number of influential players but today Tom Rogic has been outstanding. Two goals, he could have got two more at least and unlike the past, he stays on the pitch. His impact is so high consistently.

    An incredible turnaround that has Celtic in the title driving seat.
