Hearts vs Rangers Prediction and Betting Tips 4 May 2026

Hearts and Rangers meet in a crucial Premiership clash with the title at stake. As Rangers are a more experience side, we predict a 2-1 away win. Hearts have been in strong form at home, winning all five recent matches and averaging 3.00 goals per game overall. Their overall points per game stand at 1.90, with a 60% win rate. Defensively, they concede just 0.20 goals at home, boasting 80% clean sheets. No fresh injury worries for the home side.

Rangers, on the other hand, have a prolific attack, averaging 4.20 goals per game over their last 10 matches and maintaining a 50% win rate overall. Their away form is solid, with 2.00 points per game and a 75% BTTS rate. Historically, Rangers dominate head-to-heads with 27 wins in 42 matches, many featuring over 2.5 goals. The fixture promises another goal-rich encounter, with both teams eager to claim the title. Defender Dion Sterling is a major doubt.

Considering Rangers' head-to-head dominance and attacking strength, we predict Away Win, alongside Over 4.5 yellow cards and Over 2.5 goals (both teams score freely, especially Rangers’ away form)

This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Monday 4 May 2026 at 17:30.
