Hearts will be hoping to reduce the Scottish Premiership title battle to a two-horse race when they host Rangers on Bank Holiday Monday. The Jambos are three points clear of Celtic at the top of the table, with Rangers a further point back in third.
A Hearts victory at Tynecastle would therefore put a seven-point gap between the clubs, and with just three games remaining, it could leave the Ibrox outfit with too big a mountain to climb and edge Derek McInnes’ men closer to a place in the history books. No side has been crowned Scottish champions outside the Old Firm since Aberdeen in 1985, while Hearts claimed the most recent of their four championships way back in 1960.
The Gorgie side have a formidable record at Tynecastle over the last year, and we can see them continuing that on Monday, with our opening Hearts vs Rangers prediction being a home win @ 6/4. With BOYLE Sports' Early Payout , you will get paid if your selection goes two goals ahead, no matter the final scoreline.

Form Guides
Hearts Form Guide
Hearts should receive a heroes’ welcome as they return to action for the first time since beating Hibernian 2-1 in an incident-packed Edinburgh derby at Easter Road . Blair Spittal’s 86th-minute strike gave Hearts an invaluable win against a Hibs side who took an early lead but were then reduced to nine men by the 48th minute.
That victory kept Hearts clear at the Scottish Premiership summit, and they will now look to follow it up against Gers . Hearts have not lost at home in over a year aside from a penalty shoot-out loss to Falkirk in the Scottish Cup, winning 17 of 22 matches, including beating Celtic and Rangers , and we’re going for a 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 home win @ 7/2 looking at the Hearts vs Rangers odds .
Captain Lawrence Shankland remains Hearts’ best source of goals, and he is 9/2 to open the scoring while if you fancy Spittal to repeat his derby winner, you can get 85/1 for him to score the only goal of the game.
Rangers Form Guide
Rangers travel to the capital on the back of a potentially costly 3-2 home defeat to Motherwell , Emmanuel Longelo netting a stoppage-time winner after Gers had fought back from 2-0 down. That ended a run of four successive wins for Danny Rohl’s men and was a first league defeat since going down 2-1 at Hearts just before Christmas.
Rangers now face a crunch week in their season, with Monday’s trip to Gorgie being followed by a showdown with Celtic at Parkhead next Sunday. Whether they are still in the title hunt by then remains to be seen. Rangers are 11/8 to win at Tynecastle, but the future nevertheless looks bright under Rohl .
Rangers are the leading scorers in the Scottish Premiership , netting 16 times in their last four matches, and have scored at least once in 25 of their last 27 fixtures. Therefore, both teams to score @ 13/10 or over 1.5 away goals @ 11/10 are worth considering in our Hearts vs Rangers best bets for Monday’s mouth-watering meeting.
