7 minutes, you see, that's what happens.
and we talked about this this game it's going to be about small margins it's been the exact same because Hearts again although you quite rightly said Roger I think they deserved it they've not created a whole load of chances but when they've came they've took them and none more so than that clinical finish for Lorne Shanklin we saw it back how good is that finish honestly like see just everything you're looking for in that moment as you say on the weaker foot it's just he's so clinical in those areas isn't he
Yeah, it's so easy to get caught up in the moment as well and slash it high and wide.
But yeah, I mean, it's a mixture of precision and power.
He gets a lot of pace on it, a lot of precision, obviously.
And it's just a fantastic finish from a top, top striker.
And we talk about Jamestown analytics all the time.
I feel like, Gordon, I don't think there's any doubt that Braga's been a tremendous acquisition for Hearts, but you still feel that Hearts' best bit of business this year was securing Lorne Shanklin down to a new contract because he's so important for them.
Listen I'm just shaking my head At the way What Rangers are doing At this moment in time I mean They've connected Eight passes at the back And they were at the halfway And they went all the way back To Jack Butland To finally put the ball forward See if you Listen If you want to let loose And really let some steam off No no no Me and Roger are here for you No no Are you sure?
Yeah, and add to the other six foot five guys that they've got in the box.
So you felt all afternoon, or all evening, shall I say, that it was Rangers' best opportunity.
It was comfy set pieces.
And with only probably just over two and a half minutes left.
But again, they defend it ever so well, Hearts.
and as you said Roger they've deserved it Kaputi deserved it the reaction that Derek McInnes has got out of his players we spoke about at the top of the show the amount of in-game changes that Derek McInnes makes he's made a couple in this game and the changes he's made has had a positive impact on Hearts and Rangers have had no answer for it at all first time this season Rangers have led at half-time and lost the game first time since 2024 if they don't score with them next
Andy yeah finished and it's off the back of spending 40 million pound this year Celtic having four different managers at different occasions Celtic being the narrative the poorest they've been in over two decades and Rangers are going to come away for a season trophyless so
listen they got themselves back into a title race but over the context of the season this has been a horrendous season for Rangers given how much they put into it and to be honest I think after that game today they got what they deserved and that was a defeat against Hearts we use the narrative so often whether it's been Rangers or Celtic over the years that no
the sign of champions is winning ugly Hearts are doing that ever so well and they've done that for a number of weeks now and I thought it was a complete reverse for the second half I thought Hearts were first onto balls they were landing on the second balls and again didn't create all that much chances in the second half but they were ruthless when they came but they defended their box ever so well in that second half Stephen how bad was that second half?
through a larger percentage of mistake from Russell Martin and the disaster that was the first two months of the season for Rangers but that being said Rangers were still in two cup competitions when Daniel O came in they fought their way back into a title race that I think a lot of people made them favourites for going into the split and as Stephen just touched on there
Danny Rule has not managed to beat Martin O'Neill in three games he's not managed to win at Tin Castle he's not managed to win at Easter Road he's not managed to win at Firth Park so like Stephen says in these big games he's fallen short so as much as they've dragged themselves back into the title race there will be question marks 100% there will be question marks because Rangers fans will tell you they were split in the debate where
