Chermiti To Lead The Line, Moore To Start? | Predicted 4-2-3-1 Rangers Lineup To Face Hearts

A shocking defeat against Motherwell at Ibrox derailed Rangers in the Premiership race. But the hopes are not over, as they could still conquer the coveted crown with a winning streak in the four remaining fixtures. A tricky test awaits them on Monday night, as the Light Blues will travel to Edinburgh to clash heads with league leaders Hearts.

Rangers scripted a thumping 4-2 win when they locked horns at Ibrox earlier this year. However, the Jambos won the two previous ties, both home and away, with Lawrence Shankland netting the decisive goals. It remains to be seen how Danny Rohl’s men contain the fit-again Scottish hitman at Tynecastle.

Defence

Jack Butland was below par between the sticks against Motherwell. He is expected to retain his ‘number 1’ status, but should show more consistency, composure, weight, and accuracy in his distribution when playing it out from the back.

Persistent injury problems have plagued Dujon Sterling’s season. James Tavernier is set to depart by the end of this season, and with on-loan Max Aarons unlikely to be retained, Sterling should keep his place down the right if available on Monday. Tuur Rommens is closing in on a return, and the gaffer would make a late call on whether to deploy the left fullback from the start. John Souttar is nursing a knock, and Rohl would once again rely on Nasser Djiga and Emmanuel Fernandez in the heart of the backline.
