Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Hearts take on Rangers at their Tynecastle Park on the last day of the season. The Jambos have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Dundee FC, losing to Celtic, while sharing the spoils with St. Mirren, but they are surely capable of matching the Gers on home soil. Lawrence Shankland is pushing for a start, while all Calem Nieuwenhof, Craig Halkett, and Peter Haring remain in the recovery room.
The capital club, on the other hand, failed to regain the Premier League trophy, meaning that they could be low on spirits in Saturday’s encounter. Anyhow, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered as both sides will be with guards down in the last game of the season. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder John Lundstram is back from suspension, while all Tom Lawrence, Dujon Sterling, John Souttar, Leon Balogun, Rabbi Matondo, Connor Goldson, Abdallah Sima, Oscar Cortes, and Danilo Pereira remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Tom Lawrence):
Tom Lawrence is a Welsh footballer who plays as a winger for Championship side Derby County. Born in Wrexham (Wales) on January 13, 1994, Tom Lawrence played for Everton and Manchester United during his youth career.
The 180-cm-tall footballer, though, made no more than one appearances for the Red Devils in the Premier League as he was immediately sent on loan to Carlisle United. The Wales international played for the likes of Yeovil Town, Leicester City, Rotherham United, Blackburn Rovers, Cardiff City and Ipswich Town as well before signing a contract with Derby County. Tom Lawrence’s main position is left winger, but he is used as both second striker and right winger as well.
The Derby County man made his Wales debut in November 2015 in a 3-2 loss to Netherlands. The highlight of his career is the goal he scored against Georgia in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. His preferred foot is right and he wears No. 10 jersey at Derby County.
Highlighted Team (Hearts):
Founded in 1874, Hearts are professional football club that compete in the Scotland Premiership. The Jam Tarts welcome their rivals at Tynecastle Park Gorgie, the stadium which can hold up to 20,000 spectators.
While the original Hearts strip was all white shirts and trousers with maroon trimmings, the club’s current home kit is all maroon with a white-collar. Hearts have won the Scottish Premier League title four times (1894/95, 1896/97, 1957/58, 1959/60), but they have been in Celtic and Rangers’ shadows in the 21st century. Hibernian are considered the club’s fiercest rivals. The two teams first met back in 1875 on Christmas Day, with Hearts winning the match 1-0. The Tynecastle Park Gorgie recorded their biggest win in 1880, with the team rolling over Anchor 21-0 in the FA Cup.
The club’s heaviest defeat came eight years later as Hearts were beaten by Vale of Leven 8-1 in the Scottish Cup. John Robertson is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart, with the left winger netting 214 goals for the club.
