Rangers 0-1 Hearts
Calem Nieuwenhof gets down the right, but his pass into the Rangers box has to be better.
That's half a chance.

That's half a chance.
Rangers 0-1 Hearts
Lawrence Shankland was watching Harry Kane yesterday.
He's just lumped one from his own half. It's got the power and the distance but not the accuracy.
Unlucky.

Rangers have been poor.
After a European game, it looks very laboured so far.
It doesn't help that Hearts have got an early lead.
Rangers 0-1 Hearts
Rangers free-kick on the left, almost at the corner flag.
James Tavernier's ball in is nodded behind for a corner.
Rangers 0-1 Hearts
This looks a tactical decision, given Odel Offiah is on a yellow card.
Stephen Kingsley has replaced the defender.
Wise from Steven Naismith.
Rangers 0-1 Hearts
Sam Lammers lines one up from at least 25 yards.
It's miles over. Can see it coming towards our PQ office.

If Philippe Clement wondered when the honeymoon might end, it may already be over.
After Kenneth Vargas spurned that chance to double Hearts' lead, the home fans weren't slow to bellow their disapproval.
They want better, and quickly.
Rangers 0-1 Hearts
Lawrence Shankland has been absolutely brilliant.
His link-up play is so, so underrated. It's been superb so far.
Rangers 0-1 Hearts
Huge block from Frankie Kent, who throws his body in the way of John Lundstram's shot.
Rangers think it's diverted by a hand. It isn't.
The resulting corner is nodded wide by Abdallah Sima.
Rangers 0-1 Hearts
A period of huge pressure from Hearts ends with Lawrence Shankland teeing up Kenneth Vargas, who blasts over from a tight angle.
Rangers just couldn't get out there.

That man Beni Baningime draws a foul from John Lundstram just inside the Rangers half and the midfielder is in the book.

Pre-match, the Hearts manager Steven Naismith spoke of the "calm" that Beni Baningime can bring to the side.
He, like Lawrence Shankland ahead of him, hasn't put a foot wrong in the opening quarter of this one, running the show from the middle of the park.
With the exception of the capital derby, Hearts can't have started a match much better than this.
And what a bit of defending that was from Shankland to keep his side ahead. Outstanding all-round contribution so far.

That is unbelievable defending from Lawrence Shankland.
Rangers 0-1 Hearts
Connor Goldson wins the first contact from a Rangers corner and the ball just seems to hit Cyriel Dessers.
It looks set to roll over the the line, but who's there? Lawrence Shankland of all people.
The Hearts captain hacks it away then Todd Cantwell slices over.
Rangers 0-1 Hearts
Abdallah Sima slides an inviting ball into the Hearts box.
Who's there? Todd Cantwell, Cyriel Dessers and Sam Lammers.
Who ends up connecting with it? No-one.
Rangers 0-1 Hearts
Rangers corner now, which comes to nothing in the end and Hearts enjoy another spell of possession.
46% of the ball so far for the Jambos. A decent figure for a non-Old Firm side in Govan.

The Rangers manager's style on the touchline? Keeping calm in the dugout, despite a few howls of discontent from the home fans.
The Belgian boss is patiently urging his men to close down their opponents and keep their composure.
Rangers 0-1 Hearts
Rangers get the corner away at the second attempt.
The home crowd really aren't convinced by their team.
Rangers 0-1 Hearts
For the second time in quick succession, James Tavernier hits a cross with too much weight on it.
Straight up the other end, Connor Goldson inexplicably passes one straight out for a Hearts corner.
Nervy stuff from the Rangers pair.

If Rangers move the ball quickly they can get down the sides and in behind Hearts, if they are too slow Hearts can get set and they will not get beyond them.
