HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

this time of the game when there's only 20 minutes remaining and I think we all agree that Rangers have to try and win this game and you know even though he is a full back he's been such a creative force for Rangers since he's came into the side he's a willing runner he'll get into the back post he'll cause issues with his off the ball movement and he's got great delivery when he gets into the final third so you're expecting to see him and Ryan Nadiri at some point in this game surprised it's not came already

again I would need to see it back I think it's another mistake from Nasser Jigar he tries to prod the ball he tries to prod the ball out

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

Yeah it is Nasser Jigga and he prods it straight to Hearts and I think it's Kingsley again on the left hand side that tries to whip it into the box it takes a slight deflection and as it's angling towards Laurence Shankland at the penalty spot you just feel it's a goal straight away such is the quality of the striker and it's on his weaker left side Roger that is deadly we've known this for a long time In front of Scotland manager Steve Clarke lots of things have just happened there Hearts have put themselves in pole position to be champions for the first time in 66 years

HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

He is, he's absolutely fantastic and he's such a key player for Hearts.

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

I think he's widely recognised as the best number nine in the country and you felt that Hearts were going to miss him over the period of time but they're probably lucky they've got the second best strike in the country in Claudio Braga.

HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

again I think it's fantastic movement for Lon Shatton because like he says it takes a little nick and he reacts and Rangers don't and he's just the type of player that when it does land on his whether it's his weaker left side or his right foot you just fancy him to score all the time such as the quality of the striker and like you say Gordon it's a fantastic finish he doesn't have a lot to aim for there's a couple of Rangers bodies in front of him

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

surprising the context that he's always got a moment he's always got a moment to create something for you but I don't think he's been I don't think he's had his best game I tell you what Nico Raskin's been substituted not a wow not something you see ever so often I think Chukwani's I don't think Chukwani's had a good game I was expecting his number and Diamandi was just booked a moment ago as well I actually wondered it might be Diamandi coming off I certainly didn't think Raskin Mikey Moore though is he in that Rangers don't have loads Moore's shaking his head down there in the dugout

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

Yeah, because like he says...

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

he can't have enough match winners and I think he's that player that's got a moment in him even if he's not playing at his best even if he's not involved in the game a lot he's got a moment in him that can change the complexion of a game I don't think Scott Wilson showed he's that type of player Gassama's blue hot and cold throughout the season and Terlo Asgard being the exact same as well Shankly did so well the manager will tell you Mikey Moore did 75 minutes to influence the course of the football match and didn't no but I think what Andy's coming from is

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

the Rangers attacker down the left and I think that is safe is that going to is he not booking him for that I think he's got away with one I think it's a classic centre midfielders tackle that one I also called him the Rangers attacker I think it was on Fernandes was it but he just happened to be in a left wing position left wing position but I tell you what it wouldn't surprise me if we see him in a striker position of Manuel Fernandes in the last five or so minutes of this game but I tell you what Gordon Rangers have been appalling in this second half appalling

HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

other than that Scov Olsen shot, which was routine, shall we say, for Swallow.

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

and yet they're nearly level Taylor Asgard and again it comes for me I think Swallow he can either catch it but he has to get more distance on his two handed punch and he heads it straight to Taylor Asgard and that's one of them Gordon that

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

I mean essentially it's an open goal because Swallow's out his goal but it does come to him ever so fast that you feel as if is it a wee bit too harsh to say he should be scoring for these scenarios but it's by far in a way Rangers' best opportunity this second half and this is where it is this is murder for referees because when it gets to the grappling some players push more than they should other players Mark Leonard would be advised to take care here

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

yeah and he's done it on a couple of occasions Mark Leonard he did it in the first half as well but listen when it comes to these scenarios in the box you just have to be careful for both sides whether you're an attacker whether you're a defender because you don't want to be giving away either a needless foul or a penalty but Rangers are in desperation time 12 minutes they need not only one goal they need two goals and at this moment in time you just can't see it happening at all James Tavernier's shoulders are going to be sore because he's launched a lot of those long throws into the box

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

Yeah, I don't envisage two or three minutes injury time, that's for sure.

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

But, you know, I think that clip's a perfect example, Roger, of the complete flip in the first half.

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

You know, when Charmitty nods the ball down, Hearts have four bodies around the ball, Rangers have two.

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

So it forces Rangers into an error, Hearts manage to get it back.

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

and it's gone out for a Rangers throw at this moment in time, but like you said, it's desperation time.

Superscoreboard
HEARTS VS RANGERS LIVE | MONDAY 4TH MAY

I think for straight a lot of players there's a lot of force in the tackle he goes in to try and win the ball but I think when you can see he's won the ball cleanly there's no follow through in terms of studs on a foot or what not I think that's just a terrific tackle I think John Beaton's had a relatively good game it's probably been a difficult game to referee given how stop start it's been but that's a poor decision I think that's the one he's got wrong
