THE PREDICTION

Rangers grabbed a vital point away at Lyon on Thursday, with a 1-1 draw sending them into the last 16 of the Europa League at the expense of Sparta Prague. The first dropped points of Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s reign will not feel like it as they look forward to more elite competition in 2022 and return their sights to a Scottish Premiership they look set to defend. Rangers are four points ahead of Celtic and they get to extend that before their bitter rivals play in the later Sunday game if they can be the first side to beat Hearts at home this season. The hosts beat Livingston on the road last Sunday to snap a losing streak on the road and a draw will certainly feel like a win here against the Premiership champions. Still, seven wins on the road in the league for Rangers suggests taking them to avoid defeat with double chance could be a decent bedrock for an accumulator.
