October 16th features a match where Rangers will host Hearts in a meeting of these two Premiership teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, Rangers recorded a 2-1 win against Hibernian. Kevin Nisbet scored the first goal for Hibernian in the 8th minute, then in the 60th minute, Nathan Patterson sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Kemar Roofe But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 78th minute on a goal by Alfredo Morelos. Rangers should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches, while hearts is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Motherwell. Liam Boyce struck first for Hearts in the 5th minute on a penalty shot, then Stephen Kingsley added another in the 22nd minute In the end, Motherwell couldn’t muster any offence and Hearts ran away with the shutout win. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Hearts should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season.
Hearts is glad to have Liam Boyce in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals. Rangers is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Fashion Sakala and Joe Aribo each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
