Source context
Derek McInnes has picked his Rangers lineup vs Hearts for tonight’s Scottish Premiership clash under the lights at Tynecastle. Rangers are firmly in the domestic groove under McInnes and quickly recovered from dropping points against Dundee to thrash St Johnstone 4-0. St Johnstone were overpowered at Ibrox and Rangers could have inflicted an even heavier loss than the eventual 4-0 scoreline. Now McInnes leads his side into battle against the club he was in charge of last season, knowing that every dropped point could be crucial in the Scottish Premiership title race this season. Hearts themselves returned to winning ways last time out by visiting Fir Park and winning 2-0 against Motherwell, a result they will be keen to follow up tonight.
