Confirmed Rangers team news from Tyecastle as Danny Rohl names his lineup for Monday’s massive SPFL title race showdown against Hearts.
The German coach has made four changes from the Motherwell fixture last week with James Tavernier, Mo Diomande, Mikey Moore and Andreas Skov Olsen coming in from the start.
Thelo Aasgaard, Djeidi Gassama, and Bojan Miovski have to settle for a place on the bench. Jayden Meghoma is not in the squad today.
In what could be crucial for the Gers, Tuur Rommens AND Ryan Naderi return to the squad, with a place on the bench.
The middle-to front-selection problem was a dilemma on the minds of many Rangers supporters and now we know the outcome.
The midfield trio must provide the base and solidity for Moore, Skov Olsen and Chermiti to fire.
As for the Dane, it’s surely now or never for him to make an impact. What an opportunity.

Win or bust – all that matters for Rangers is the result
This game is win or bust for Rangers’ title aspirations.
It is as simple as that.
There’s no way back from a draw, never mind a loss, with only three games remaining after this titanic tussle at Tynecastle. The league table reflects the reality.
Rangers must start well, in contrast to the last two outings against Motherwell and Falkirk, respectively.
Rohl and the players know what’s at stake, as confirmed by Jack Butland.
The time for talking is over – action is required on the pitch.
Full match reaction to follow later tonight on Read Rangers.
