It's a top of the table clash at Ibrox as Rangers host Hearts, the two teams separated by a sole point in the Scottish Premiership standings. For the Gers, the result against Hibernian was all that mattered. Ryan Porteous' red card may have changed the complexion of the game, but Rangers highlighted their character and strength by turning the game on its head to regain top spot from the Jambos, who had got the better of Motherwell on the Saturday afternoon. They'll be hoping to make it three league wins on the spin here by any means necessary. However, they face a Hearts side who have gone unbeaten in their first eight top tier matches for the first time since the 2005/06 season. A memorable campaign for the capital club that year saw them split the Old Firm, finishing above Rangers, and win the Scottish Cup. While the fans will be dreaming of equalling those highs, it's still early doors despite the massive morale boost a positive result in this match would bring. Rangers handed Hibs their first Scottish Premiership defeat of the season last time out and they could repeat that feat against the men in maroon here, potentially by the same scoreline too. 2:1
Steven Gerrard made six changes from the Rangers team that lost 1-0 to Sparta Prague in their last Europa League match as they came from behind to beat Hibernian 2-1 at Ibrox in their last Scottish Premiership match. Allan McGregor, Borna Barisic, Leon Balogun, Glen Kamara and Joe Aribo were the quintet to keep their places. Out dropped club captain James Tavernier, Calvin Bassey, Juninho Bacuna, Steven Davis, Kemar Roofe and Fashion Sakala. Nathan Patterson, Connor Goldson, John Lundstram, Ianis Hagi, Scott Wright and Alfredo Morelos all came into the starting XI at their expense for the win against the Hibees and could keep their spots as the other side of Edinburgh come to town. Robbie Neilson named an unchanged first XI as Hearts claimed back-to-back clean sheets and victories after a 3-0 win against Livingston was succeeded by a 2-0 win against Motherwell at Tynecastle prior to the international break. John Souttar has missed out through injury, as Taylor Moore kept his place, and the international break may have come at the perfect time for him to gain some rest and potentially come back into contention. Liverpool loanee Ben Woodburn and former Rangers winger Barrie McKay continued to support Liam Boyce in attack, who opened the scoring against the Well with his 10th goal in 13 matches this season in all competitions.
