Football – Scotland – Premiership Betting Tips

Second placed Rangers continue to play ‘catch-up’ with their arch-rivals and current Premiership league leaders Celtic as they head into their Saturday afternoon Scottish top flight clash with Hearts at Ibrox.

Rangers stand every chance of capturing a further three points to add to their existing tally of 29 points too as they hold a strong record in front of their home fans with a record of  5-3-0  12/4 having remained unbeaten to date and possessing the second best defensive record at home in the division (second to Celtic).

With their away form being a little shaky to say the least, Rangers will no doubt be keen to make home advantage count, and having registered wins over Motherwell, Partick Thistle, Kilmarnock, Dundee and most notably, Aberdeen, the hosts look in good shape here.

Visitors Hearts are just two league places and two points behind their hosts Rangers as they’ve become one of the strongest outfits of the ‘also-rans’ behind Celtic and Rangers having put together a six-match unbeaten run in the Premiership.

This run though includes just two wins (over Motherwell and Rangers) and both recorded at home, while stalemates with Inverness, St Johnstone, Hamilton and Ross County perhaps indicates a lack of cutting edge up front to finish opponents off.

Hearts’ away record also reflects this as it currently stands at  2-4-2  13/13 together with keeping just one clean sheet on their travels to date which could fall nicely into Rangers’ game-plan here this afternoon!
