Match Thread Hearts v Rangers - 15:00 Sunday - Sky Sports

We are like a different team this half. More direct and now Hearts are just trying to hit the ball anywhere they can.
 
a lovely move for the goal.
A pity Alfie isn't on as he'd have made something from the 2 breaks Defoe has had. Defoe just isn't quick enough for those chances.
 
No wonder Polster was linked with Hearts. Tynecastle seems to be the only place he plays. Looks the typical Amercian, technical, physical, gets on with it.
 
Without having a big effect directly on the game, the Arfield change has helped hugely. Play further up the park when he is in the middle 3 and that alone brings the top 3 guys in the game.
 
When teams like Hearts who are underperforming and wish to prove to themselves and to their fans that things aren't as bad as they seem, all too often it is against Rangers that they choose to make their stand. It hs always been this way. That is why playing for Rangers requires, in addition to having superior skill, a high degree of mental toughness and will power to cope with games like todays. If I'm honest, I think its precisely these attributes that too many in the current squad lack.
