Hearts host Rangers in a crucial Scottish Premiership clash with the leaders holding a four-point advantage. Derek McInnes maintains his side remain underdogs despite their league position, pointing to Rangers' superior spending power. The Tynecastle side are unbeaten at home and could match Sir Alex Ferguson's record of single-season victories against the Old Firm.

Danny Röhl views the match as "huge" for his Rangers side, calling it a "cup final" in their pursuit of the title. A Rangers defeat would virtually end their hopes, while a Hearts win would narrow the race to essentially a two-team contest with Celtic. The match comes after Rangers' recent loss to Motherwell that ended a four-game winning streak.

The atmosphere at Tynecastle will be hostile with McInnes calling for maximum support from the 20,000 expectant fans. Röhl acknowledges the difficult environment, noting Hearts' home advantage and the physical battle expected. With four games remaining, this encounter could dramatically reshape the title landscape, though McInnes insists all teams still believe they can win the championship.
