Rangers Lineup Revealed: Team to Face Hearts at Ibrox
As the Scottish Premiership action heats up, Rangers have unveiled their starting eleven and substitutes ahead of their clash against Hearts at the iconic Ibrox Stadium this afternoon. Under the stewardship of Philippe Clement, Rangers currently lead the Scottish Premiership standings with a slender two-point margin over arch-rivals Celtic, and they are eager to extend that lead to five points before Celtic’s match tomorrow.
However, Hearts, sitting third in the league, pose a formidable challenge, having secured victory in their last eight consecutive matches. Rangers recall their previous encounter with Hearts, where they managed only a narrow 1-0 victory back in December, signaling the potential for an intense and closely contested match today.
The starting lineup for Rangers features Jack Butland guarding the goal, while a robust defensive quartet comprising James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, John Souttar, and Ridvan Yilmaz forms the backbone of the team selected by Clement.
In midfield, the duo of John Lundstram and Mohamed Diomande will marshal the center of the park, with Tom Lawrence, Dujon Sterling, and Oscar Cortes providing width and creativity. Spearheading the attack is Cyriel Dessers, entrusted with the responsibility of breaching the Hearts defense.
Clement has assembled a formidable bench, with the likes of Fabio Silva and Kemar Roofe standing by, ready to make an impact if called upon during the course of the game.
