1216: The last time Rangers visited Tynecastle, the visitors came from behind to nab the points courtesy of Kris Boyd’s injury-time penalty. That 2-1 victory has been the hallmark of Walter Smith’s side’s season: grinding out wins as they continue their relentless push towards a second successive SPL title. 1215: A stat for you to chew over with your bacon roll: three of Jamie MacDonald’s seven appearances last season were against Rangers and he experienced every type of result with a defeat, a win and a draw. 1214: “It’s a tough game alright, I thought they played really well when they beat Hibs. It’s really refreshing to see Jim and Billy back and they look as if they’re enjoying themselves.” Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist****1211: Rangers make five changes to the team that lost to Dundee United in the cup on Wednesday with Lee McCulloch and Kevin Thomson returning from suspension and Steven Davis, Kris Boyd and Kenny Miller also back in the line-up. Andrew Little, John Fleck, DaMarcus Beasley and Maurice Edu drop to bench and Kyle Lafferty misses out altogether.1210: Jamie McDonald replaces Janos Balogh in the Hearts goal and Marius Zaliukas and Suso Santana also returning to the starting line-up; Dawid Kucharski and Andrew Driver dropping out. 1209: The Scottish Cup defeat by Dundee United scuppered Rangers’ hopes of securing a domestic treble, so the Glasgow club will be keen to clinch the title as soon as possible. They face Hearts in the lunch-time kick-off at Tynecastle, with the Jambos in buoyant mood after last week’s Edinburgh derby win.1208: It’s been quite a week, eh Celtic’s 4-0 midweek drubbing by St Mirren signalled the end of manager Tony Mowbray’s turbulent reign and former captain Neil Lennon has been named caretaker boss.**1205: TEAMS - HEARTS v RANGERS **
