Derek McInnes Ready for Hot Reception at Hearts v Rangers

Ibrox Noise writer Sam Groves previews Rangers' upcoming Scottish Premiership trip to face Hearts at Tynecastle, highlighting the hostile reception awaiting manager Derek McInnes following his move from the Gorgie side. The match marks the start of a crucial double fixture that the writer argues could heavily define Rangers' title challenge against Celtic, emphasizing that Rangers must secure at least four points across the stretch.

Groves notes that Wouter Vrancken's Hearts side sits only four points behind Rangers despite suffering a 7-1 defeat against Celtic. While Lawrence Shankland and Cammy Devlin will not be in the match squad, Groves expects them to attend alongside McInnes, who faces a volatile atmosphere as Rangers attempt to maintain pressure at the top of the table.
