yes it's euphoric in here Gordon you can hear Colin Chisholm singing the heart song to a packed out Tyne Castle park the twirly has just been on maroon and white scarves and flags swirling around this place and what a stadium it is on nights like this what a noise

It makes.

Hearts have been so good in these games all season, Gordon.

As Roger said, they're unbeaten at Tyne Castle.

It's been a fortress all campaign.

They've won four out of six against the old firm so far this season.

The only time they lost was the previous meeting between these two teams.

And that will give some confidence to Danny Rule and his men.

It's all on the line here.

The German's been talking about eight cup finals for his team for the past month.

But this is it.

This is real.

They cannot lose today or their title bid is over.

As the two captains pose with the mascot, James Tavernier and Laurence Shankham.

Let's go over the teams once again.

The hosts, 4-3-3, Svalov and Gold, Steinbender, Haukert, Finlay and Kingsley as a back four.

Chesnikov, Beningame, Leonard and Kizaridis across the middle, Braga and Shanklin up top, it's 4-3-3 for the visitors, Butler in goal, Tavernier, Chiga, Fernandes and Sterling at the back, Chukwani, Raskin and Diamande in the middle, Skov Olsson and more.

play on the wings with Chimiti through the middle what a huge opportunity it is for Hudson you really feel it here Gordon you can see it on the face of all of the fans in the stadium a win and they would knock Rangers out of the title battle making it just a two-horse race between themselves and Celtic who then of course have a three-point advantage over with just three to play they're on the precipice

of history more than history the ultimate title win and on the other side the blue side of Glasgow it's do or die for Rangers win or bust it doesn't get any bigger than this kickoff is next what an occasion listen to that place we do a lot of mumping and moaning here why do we need a split and why have we got a game on a bank holiday Monday at half past five but my goodness Roger Hanna that is sensational yeah

Halftime and it's Hearts nil, Rangers one, Dujon Sterling scrappy goal has the visitors ahead at the interval and how critical might that goal prove to be?
