We slipped up at the final hurdle last time we were through there and beat the other arse cheek more recently. We shouldn’t fear them.

tiger Rudi Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Do we keep it tight, work our way into the game? A cautious approach. Or do we go for it from kick off?! Would love to keep our unbeaten run going! Nothing to fear if we believe. Team really looks capable of going through there and doing something.

gnasher75 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 A different pressure on Rangers now, having been trying to catch up with Celtic all season they are now trying to protect their lead. Will be interesting to see how they cope with that. The big difference for Hearts now compared to other games against Rangers in recent years is that we don't just have a decent starting team but loads of really good options on the bench - players with confidence and a hunger to play - and a manager who knows how to change things to make a positive difference during the game. Given the abuse he gets through there, I'd love to see Naismith getting the win. And obviously Shankland to score the winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 As much as I detest both of them, unfortunately one of them has to win the league... With all the talk in the papers over the past few months, Shankland scoring a 95th minute winner to beat them, and then Celtic going on to win the title because they dropped points against us would be about as inducing as we can get.

tartofmidlothian Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I'd rather draw with both Old Firm than beat one in the next few games.

OBE Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Since our last visit to Ibrox, the rangers haven't improved...we have, enormously. One concern though, VAR, still the first name on the rangers team sheet. The rangers are ordinary, that's why they're afforded so many game changing decisions, Clement has them falling over, feigning injury at every opportunity, we need to be switched on. Big if, but if the referee allows, Hearts a fair crack of the whip...we'll be absolutely fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonJambo1985 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 1-1 Shankland to score, penalty for Rangers to level it up, red card for Shanks (so he can’t score the winner) and he misses the Derby. We still pump Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to play our “normal game” which I think is go toe to toe with them from the off. Not kamikaze, but confident and positive. Sitting in and inviting pressure reinforces (a) an inferior mentality, (b) means they probably will score, especially with the ref no doubt itching to give them everything and anything.

Got to play with confidence and try not to get pinned in without any out ball. That was the way it went last time through there, we just couldn't get up the pitch second half. Need to play well, with no mistakes and don't give VAR even a sniff of giving them a penalty, because if we are winning they will look for any infringement in the box as an excuse to give them a penalty.

Hoff and Beni sitting in front of a 4 with the two wide men in the 3 protecting the fullbacks when we are under a bit of pressure. They obviously need to provide an attacking threat and support for Shanks as well. We have players with good engines in Forrest and Oda that can do that.

The foul count will look like it’s on a parity on match reports, but , their fouls awarded will be in dangerous areas, ours will be back at our own 25 yard area. I’ve even seen breaks that were on being stopped by the ref to bring the play back for a foul to US. The refs and association are bent in this country, no one will convince me otherwise. Just look at the pressure rangers are putting on the SPFL with the letter, and the pressure on the SFA with the Collum shenanigans, they KNOW what they’re doing, and they know they are doing it at exactly the right moment.

Remember having 7 men in 96 and Miko being sent off at Tynie. Naismith needs to do a Fergie and speak out about the need for a strong ref (and VAR) to put the spotlight on them.

boag1874 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 We don’t want to change too much but at the same time we can’t be naive against them and just “have a go”, they are much much stronger than the rest of the teams we’ve played recently so we will have to make sure we pick our opportunities wisely or they’ll turn us over. The last visits to Glasgow we’ve played it perfectly by boxing clever resulting in a win at Parkhead and what really should have been another at Ibrox. If we’re to go one better than our nearly moment we will need to be switched on defensively first and foremost, any lapses are more likely to be punished. When we get the ball we need to get in behind their press and counter with pace, that means players being brave on the ball and not panicking. Vargas/Forrest will be our biggest weapons in getting the ball towards their box, they need to try & force their backline to run towards their own goal. We can do this, they’re not unbeatable by any stretch but it’s going to require a hell of a lot of dig from everyone, luckily our team have character and hopefully shouldn’t be fazed by the occasion.

Ex member of the SaS Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I heard this conspiracy theory: We beat or draw with Sevco to allow Celtic to catch up and keep the bigot fest going, or Sevco win to increase the gap and we beat or draw with Celtic to leave Sevco well in front.

I don’t imagine we give a tuppeny toss about who benefits or who gets damaged or indeed who wins the league One things for sure, we’ll likely have a huge say about who’s winning the league and I wouldn't be at all surprised if neither of them beat us in the next week or so.

Rangers will be a different animal to what we’ve faced recently but can’t change our approach fully to suit them as a goal for them in that time ur just chasing the game.

Beaton is genetically a Rangers man. Neither of them can help themselves when it comes to favouring their team. Neither should be permitted to referee their team. It wouldn’t happen in any other country, just here. So if we’re getting an official with known bias, I’d rather it was Collum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
