A huge goal it is
set piece it's a long throw and we talked about Chukwani getting caught under the ball it's Stuart Finlay that gets caught under the ball for hearts and it diverts it to Dujon Sterling he does well to keep it low but I think it deflects off Michael Steinwinder I think it is and it leaves Alexander Swallow with no chance it ricochets off the floor loops over him into the far corner we felt as if the big goal the first goal was going to be important we certainly didn't think it was going to come for Dujon Sterling he's not somebody that scores a lot of goals
It's almost been surprising that Stuart Finlay gets caught under the ball.
I'm really surprised that Stuart Finlay gets caught under the ball there.
There's no one behind him.
Again, just completely missed times he's jumped.
And for someone that's been so reliable for Hearts this season, I think he'd be really disappointed with how that's played out.
yeah listen I don't know if you guys agree or disagree I don't think any has thought that one team was going to run away with this game you felt as if it was going to be a moments game you felt as if it was going to be the fine margins that were going to determine it and when the big chances come you have to be clinical and either side you've got to say have had a good chance each leading into that and Rangers take the next big one that comes their way that obviously comes with an element of fortune with the deflection but they're making hearts defend and that's what happened here here is the positive for Derek McInnes
No but in this occasion Craig Alcott deals with it a lot better than the throw that came over on the other side but I've said for a long period of time Gordon I just feel like that's what Rangers are and sometimes I feel like they get caught in between trying to be a possession based team when they're not so I've actually no issue with that I've no issue with this at all because I actually think if you are this side then set up to be this side commit the players forward have bodies in areas where you can win the second ball when you do go direct instead of being open and expansive as if you're going to play then don't so I think at this moment in time
I think that Rangers are probably picking up more of the second balls than Hearts that being said I think Hearts on a couple of occasions they've got a bit of joys when Rangers have actually put shorter passes and they've jumped on it and they've stolen certain areas of the pitch but yeah I mean in terms of completed passes This is absolutely frantic honestly so Hearts right back had a chance to just play a pass inside to midfield he just boots it up the pitch and that means that Jiga slices it and he goes out for a throw in this is frantic Roger Hanna
Yeah, absolutely.
And listen, obviously I've played at Hearts, I've played in Tyncastle on big nights and they're a club with huge expectations, even if at that moment in time they don't have a team that can value it.
But at this moment in time, Hearts have showed that they're one of the best sides in the country.
Every Hearts fan going to Tyncastle tonight will be expecting and hoping for a win.
But when you go 1-0 down and the game is as cagey as it is, there'll certainly be a bit more pressure on them.
But like Roger says, I do think they're a team that's
there's nothing he can do players are just flying into challenges they've given away needless fills and it's a free kick in Rangers half which Emmanuel Fernandes and Nasser Djiga got for this is very direct from both teams isn't it yeah it is and I must admit I didn't really expect any different eh
and if you're going to play that way then set up to play that way which Rangers have done so far but what's really important if Rangers are to be this direct is they have to have players in areas to win setting balls at this moment in time they're doing it pretty well because hearts are a side that if you do allow them into your defensive third they're so dangerous they've got players that will just put balls into the box and you've got the two strikers like Claudio Braga and Laurence Shackland then you're under threat at any minute so
it's been the best move in the match so far for Rangers, no doubt, they've not gone anywhere though, because Germany's lost the ball in a dangerous area, in hearts of, again, listen, like we say, it's,
You're expecting it to be a direct game, but hearts have to do better than that.
