Rangers FC will face Hearts on Saturday - Cinch Scottish Premiership

The final matchday of the Scottish Premiership takes place this weekend and will see Hearts host Rangers at Tynecastle Park on Saturday afternoon.

Hearts have struggled for form of late but have already secured a Europa League playoff spot next season. They were beaten 2-1 by Motherwell in their last game, struggling to create enough tangible chances despite dominating possession.

Hearts sit third in the league standings, with 61 points from 37 games. They will now be looking to return to winning ways on Saturday as they gear up for their cup final next weekend.

Rangers are in superb form and are now looking forward to two finals in the coming week. They picked up a comfortable 4-1 win over Ross County in their last game and could easily have doubled that tally with the number of quality chances they created.

The Gers have picked up 86 points from 37 games this season and are guaranteed to finish as runners-up. They will be looking to end the league campaign with maximum points.


Hearts vs Rangers Head-to-Head

Hearts vs Rangers Prediction

Hearts are on a run of back-to-back defeats and are winless in their last three games. They are, however, unbeaten in their last seven home games and will be looking to maximize their home advantage this weekend.

Rangers are on a four-game unbeaten run across all competitions and have lost just one of their last nine. The visitors should win this one.
