by Matthew Newman in Scottish Premiership Predictions
An important Scottish Premiership game for Rangers on Sunday as they try to keep pace with Celtic. Hearts will be their visitors for this match, a team battling for points themselves but at the wrong end of the table. Gers vs Jam Tarts is always a fascinating game for a prediction so let's get straight to it.
Home cooking has been good for Rangers so far, winning all five of their games at Ibrox. That is in contrast to the poor performances on the road, which includes a 0-0 draw at Hearts on the opening weekend.
Dynamo Kyiv and Lyon have both won at Ibrox in Europe this season but the league wins have come at the expense of just two goals conceded. They played in Greece on Thursday, a 1-1 draw at Olympiakos.
Hearts were also in European action on Thursday, losing 0-2 at home to Heidenheim. They have been producing more of a fight away from home of late, winning at St Johnstone and picking up a point at Hibs.
Although they lost to Aberdeen it was only 2-3, with an 88th-minute winner with Hearts down to 10 men. A 0-2 loss at Celtic was a 52nd minute penalty and an 89th minute goal so they can hold teams for long periods.
