Just 77 days on from their entertaining 3-3 draw at Tynecastle last season, Hearts and Rangers will face off once again this weekend as duo kick of the new Scottish Premiership campaign in Edinburgh.
With a potential 11 new signings on show between the teams, the game in Gorgie is sure to be an intriguing one as two of last year’s top three look to begin their season with a vital three points.
Hearts boss Steven Naismith knows he will be without both Beni Baningime and Calem Nieuwenhof tomorrow, while experienced defender Stephen Kingsley is a doubt for the game. For Rangers boss Philippe Clement, only Dujon Sterling will be missing. However, the Belgian does have several selection dilemmas, both in defence and upfront.
So how will both sides line up at Tynecastle tomorrow? The Scotsman predicts Hearts’ and Rangers’ starting XI, with a number of new signings set for debuts in the capital.
