Rangers will host Hearts at Ibrox on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Scottish Premiership campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a largely solid campaign so far this season and continue to push for a return to the pinnacle of Scottish football. They thrashed Hibernian 4-0 in their last league game, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including Brighton & Hove Albion loanee Abdallah Sima, who netted a brace.
Rangers sit second in the league table with 18 points from nine games. They are seven points behind rivals Celtic at the top of the pile and will be desperate to reduce that gap this weekend.
Hearts, meanwhile, have had mixed results this season but remain hopeful of securing European football at the end of the campaign. They were beaten 4-1 by Celtic last time out in the league, sitting three goals down before team captain Lawrence Shankland scored a consolation goal from outside the area.
The visitors sit fourth in the table, with 11 points picked up so far and will be looking to add to that tally come Sunday.
