Ryan Jack: Rangers have to give Hibs the Hearts treatment at Easter Road

Connor Goldson and Ryan Kent celebrate Rangers taking the lead against Kilmarnock on Saturday.

Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack has suggested that his Ibrox colleagues will need to show a similar mettle at Easter Road as they did against Hearts at Tynecastle last month when they head to Leith on Wednesday night.

Lee Johnson’s in-form side are next up for a Rangers team who have found their feet since the Viaplay Cup final defeat to Celtic following their 3-1 win over Kilmarnock on Saturday, abeit that they remain a little unsteady.

It will be up to a Hibs side who have taken 13 points from their last 15 to try and manipulate any weakness in Rangers’ armoury. There was an expectation that Hearts might have put a spoke in Michael Beale’s wheel – and it is worth remembering that he has not lost a league game yet since taking charge – but it was a night where Rangers produced arguably their most commanding performance of the season. They scored three and had the same number chalked off by VAR on a night where Hearts could not live with them.
