AI match recap
Rangers travel to Tynecastle with the stronger recent run, but this is a demanding fixture rather than a routine away assignment. Hearts have made their home ground a difficult place to visit and will lean on intensity, second balls and set-pieces to compensate for a depleted defensive unit. Milne's season-ending absence is a major structural problem, while Mendy's availability offers Vrancken a valuable boost in midfield. McInnes' first return to his former club adds emotion, but the match should be settled by which side handles the press and the wide defensive match-ups better.
Head-to-head analysis
This fixture has produced a volatile recent series, with both clubs recording convincing wins and Hearts taking notable home victories. Tynecastle has been a particularly uncomfortable venue for Rangers in the more recent meetings, although neither side has established lasting control of the head-to-head.
Injuries and absences
Milne's confirmed long-term absence weakens Hearts' left-sided balance, while the continued absences of Borchgrevink and Findlay reduce defensive flexibility. Mendy's potential return is important because it restores a senior midfield option to help shield that depleted unit.
