Rangers are striving to reduce the points difference with Celtic, the league leaders, as they prepare to face third-placed Hearts at Tynecastle Park for the Scottish Premiership’s 15th Matchday this Wednesday.

After demonstrating top form over the weekend, the Edinburgh-based club enters their match against the Glasgow behemoths on a high, thanks to an own goal by an opponent securing a quiet 1-0 victory in their away game against Kilmarnock. Buoyed by this win, their fourth consecutive one, the Jam Tarts have gracefully ascended to third place in the Scottish Premiership, maintaining an eight-point distance from their midweek adversaries. Hearts’ manager Steven Naismith, who was previously on the brink of losing his job, has eased the pressure on himself with a sudden increase in performance. He now aims to derail Rangers’ pursuit of the championship title.

In the race for the Scottish Premiership title, Rangers, the main rivals of Celtic, recently secured a comfortable 2-0 victory in their league clash. Abdallah Sima stole the spotlight by scoring two goals, both assisted by Todd Cantwell. Following Saturday’s win, the Glasgow team has now accumulated a total of 31 points after 14 league rounds, and they are hopeful for another victorious performance on Wednesday to continue putting pressure on Celtic, who are currently leading the Premiership. At the same time, Rangers have regained their winning momentum after a successful weekend, bouncing back from consecutive 1-1 draws against Aberdeen and Aris Limassol.

Hearts vs Rangers Betting Tips: Rangers to Win

The Jam Tarts are focusing on reducing the points gap with the second-ranked team in the Premiership. It’s important to note that their two encounters with the Glasgow side this season didn’t end well, with a 1-2 loss in a league match and a 1-3 defeat in the Scottish League Cup semifinal. Looking at the bigger picture, it’s clear that Tynecastle Park has been a happy hunting ground for the Gers. They have secured five straight wins against Hearts as the visiting team, scoring an impressive 15 goals in the process.

Moreover, Philippe Clement is enjoying the initial stages of his term managing the 55-time Scottish champions. The Ibrox team has yet to experience defeat under his Belgian expertise, with seven victories and three draws from their first 10 matches in all competitions. The Rangers, currently eight points behind but with an extra game over the leader of the Scottish Premiership, can’t afford any mistakes. They will put all their energy into securing a full three points in their away game against Hearts. This win will boost their confidence before their critical Europa League match against Real Betis next week.
