Chris Sutton and Ally McCoist predict Rangers clash v Hearts
Ally McCoist and Chris Sutton have both backed Rangers to beat Hearts on Sunday afternoon in the Scottish Premiership.
The Bears travel to Tynecastle in a big top of the table clash as they look to create space between them and the chasing pack.
McCoist predicted that it will finish 2-1 to Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men, with Sutton going for a tighter 1-0 ending to the away side.
Predicting the games on BT Sports Scottish Football Extra on Friday evening (9th December) – both Sutton and McCoist went for a similar outcome.
We would be more inclined to agree with Sutton, starngely, as it would see us leave Edinburgh with a brilliant clean-sheet.
Bring it home.
These are the types of games that can make or break title aspirations, with Celtic already losing at Tynecastle this season.
Rangers themselves have seen title hopes collapse here in the past, and Van Bronckhorst will be well aware of that.
The Dutchman has delivered a new gritty, tough style in defence compared to Steven Gerrard, with both full-backs allowed to go forward but in a more disciplined method.
After big changes were made in France for the 1-1 draw against Lyon on Thursday (9th December), there will be some big names well rested and ready to return.
Alfredo Morelos will likely start in the final third, and he could be the man to make all the difference in what promises to be a brilliant game – bring it on.
