Rangers vs Hearts: TV channel, kick-off time, Gers team news, referee & VAR
11/09/2024 07:08 AM
Rangers return to Scottish Premiership duty this weekend after their exploits in Greece on Thursday.
The Light Blues earned a creditable point against Olympiacos in the Europa League and continued their trend of generally turning up and performing well on the continental stage.
But fans are asking why those displays can’t be replicated on the domestic front with Rangers sitting a lowly third in the league table.

Depending on Aberdeen and Celtic’s results, they could potentially be eleven points behind both teams before a ball is kicked at Ibrox against Hearts.
That is a frightening prospect but at the moment, Rangers need to focus on themselves and three points over Neil Critchley’s Jambos is simply a must.
