Match Time & Date:

18:00
Prediction: 2-1
Hearts
Following a 2-1 win over Motherwell in the League Cup semis, Rangers will look to return to winning ways in the Premiership when they face Hearts on Matchday 12. The Gers were beaten by high-flying Aberdeen in their last league match, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Jambos at their Ibrox Stadium. All Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo, and Ridvan Yilmaz are out of contention with injuries, while Tom Lawrence is rated doubtful due to heart problems.
Speaking of Hearts, the visitors quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Kilmarnock, with the team beating St Johnstone in their last league match. Rangers, though, do not suit Hearts and given their 16-game winless run in meetings with the capital club, home win should be considered. All Yutaro Oda, Gerald Taylor, and Calem Nieuwenhof miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
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.
