Hearts vs Rangers: How to watch, TV channel and kick-off time

Hearts and Rangers are preparing for a season-defining clash at Tynecastle on Monday.

With the sides separated by four points, Danny Rohl’s side head to Edinburgh knowing that three points are simply a must if they are to keep any of their title hopes.

The Gers fell to a shock defeat last time out, with Motherwell winning 3-2 at Ibrox.

The same weekend, Celtic would leapfrog their rivals with a win against Falkirk, while Hearts came from a goal behind to win the Edinburgh derby.

Heading into Monday’s huge clash, Ibrox News takes a look at the key details.

How to watch Hearts vs Rangers

League leaders Hearts have continued to remain unflappable throughout the campaign.

That was the case once again last time out at Easter Road, as Derek McInnes’ side battled against the nine men of their rivals to win 2-1.

Fans not in attendance on Sunday will be able to catch the encounter via Sky Sports Football, while the option is there to stream the match via the Sky Go app.

Both clubs will offer their live audio streams, accessible via their official club channels, while BBC Radio Scotland and Clyde 1 Superscoreboard will also provide live coverage and analysis.

Hearts trip is a must win for Rangers

It goes without saying that Monday could define the outcome of the current term for both sides.

Though, the importance has been heightened once again as a result of Rangers’ recent loss to Motherwell.

Back in February, Rohl’s side secured a huge 4-2 win against the Jambos at Ibrox – a result that blew the title race back open.

Though, both the Gers and Celtic have remained inconsistent behind the league leaders, while Hearts seem to be coping excellently with the pressure at the top.

If the hosts were to win on Monday, it is game set and match when it comes to the title hopes in Govan.

A win, on the other hand, would leave the gap at just a point with three to go – starting with a trip to Celtic just six days after.

There could well be a blockbuster end to the season, but first, Rangers have to set that up with a win at Tynecastle.
