Hearts host Championship rivals Rangers at Tynecastle in a game that could decide the outcome of the Premier League.

Hearts have already beaten Rangers and Celtic twice this season and another win against Danny Rohr’s side will surely see the visitors eliminated.
Rangers arrive at Tynecastle four points clear knowing they must win to keep their hopes alive ahead of next week’s Old Firm clash with Celtic, who won at Hibs yesterday and are level on points with Hearts.

What do managers say?
Derek McGinnis: “Obviously there are a lot of factors that go into this game and we can’t downplay that – why should we downplay that? It’s a fantastic game. All the Hearts supporters I’ve spoken to are eagerly looking forward to this game. Kick-off time of 5.30 on Monday is an unusual time but it doesn’t downplay what’s about to unfold. The start of the game will be exciting and hopefully the finish will be even better.”

Danny Rohr: “We need to be close to and sometimes over 100 per cent in the next four games to get points. I think that’s important now. You can’t just play 95 per cent or just 45 minutes of good football. You have to play the whole game and that’s an important part of this game. Of course, Sunday After that, we fell behind but we didn’t have the feeling of anyone giving up. That’s what I like in general, if you ask all three teams at that moment, all three teams would say they can win and now we need results and a little help from our side, but we have a big belief.”
