Hearts will host Rangers at Tynecastle Park on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 Scottish Premiership campaign.
After a rather disappointing start to their season, the home side have found good form in the league of late and have rapidly climbed up the table. They picked up a narrow 1-0 win over Kilmarnock last time out, profiting from a first-half own goal from their opponents as they held on for maximum points.
Hearts sit third in the league table with 23 points from 14 games. They will now be looking to continue their good run of form when they play on Wednesday.
Rangers are also enjoying a strong run of results at the moment and remain alive in the title race with rivals Celtic. They picked up a dominant 2-0 win over St. Mirren in their last match, with Brighton & Hove Albion loanee Abdallah Sima scoring both goals for the Gers.
The visitors sit second in the Premiership standings with 31 points. They are eight points above their midweek opponents and will be looking to further widen that gap come Wednesday.
