Rangers can put their Scottish Premiership woes to one side for the weekend as they continue their quest for a domestic Treble.
Hearts are the opponents for Sunday’s Scottish Cup semi-final and it’s going to be a big test of this Rangers squad’s mentality and professionalism.
The two previous performances have been well below the standards Gers should be setting and have been setting for the vast majority of Philippe Clement’s reign.
But when the points really mattered in games against Ross County and Dundee, Rangers couldn’t rise above the pressure to deliver when it counts in the title race.
Pressure will be on them again at Hampden versus the Jambos and the result will determine, as mentioned, the true character of this team.
Below, Rangers News provide you with everything there is to know about the Scottish Cup semi-final against Hearts including how to watch on TV, the latest team news, an injury round-up plus the appointed officials.
