Rangers have held the upper hand over Hearts in the previous two meetings between the sides at Ibrox and Hampden this season.
On paper, an away trip to Tynecastle poses one of the toughest fixtures in the Scottish Premiership but there's a real feel-good factor around the Light Blues under Philippe Clement at the moment.
Jambos boss Steven Naismith - named Manager of the Month for November earlier this week - will be desperate to dish out a first defeat to the Belgian in Gorgie this evening.
But Rangers will be fully focused on attempting to close the eight-point gap on league leaders Celtic, who have played a game more. Recent evidence would suggest Clement appears to have found a formula he trusts and it's hard to see him making many alterations to his team selection in Edinburgh.
The only potential change might come in attack, with summer signing Cyriel Dessers surely starting to run out of chances after drawing a blank in Sunday's 2-0 win over St Mirren. Abdallah Sima was the man of the moment on that occasion, with the Brighton loanee scoring both goals in each half.
Here’s how we think the Gers will shape up against Hearts at Tynecastle on this evening:
9. Ross McCausland - RW
It's no surprise the youngster is one player every Gers fan is talking about at the moment. He's pacy, direct and offers a different outlet out on the right. Deserves to keep the jersey. | SNS Group
10. Todd Cantwell - CAM
Flashes of his best form back in the No.10 position on Sunday and he's surely in line for another start ahead of Sam Lammers who hasn't offered a great deal. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
11. Abdallah Sima - LCF
Two-goal hero at the weekend and talks over a permanent move to Ibrox could be about to kick-off. Has netted 11 goals in 25 matches so far. | SNS Group
12. Danilo - CF
The Brazilian wasn't at the races against Aris Limassol and found himself back on the bench on Sunday. But he offers more of a goal threat than Dessers ever has so far. | Getty Images
