Roger Hanna

Yeah, he has been.

He's not created any chances, he's not had any shots on goal.

I still think there's a couple of... Listen, the fact of the matter is he's probably not this winger, but I think there's a couple of occasions when you see he's 1v1 with Kingsley...

you think just drive at the full back come inside put a cross into the box go on the outside try and deliver but sometimes he does try and play their little combinations their little give and goes but he's certainly been involved in the game I think Diamande for me has made a difference to Rangers he's the one that seems to be building the play and connecting the game for Rangers he's gave it away in a couple of areas but I think he's been doing the right things trying to play forward trying to make an impact

Yeah and I think they thoroughly deserve it it's not been a classic I'm not saying for a minute the Rangers have been outstanding but they've definitely been the better side I think since that opening goal I thought they've showed plenty of control and I think they've been professional how they went about their business they're picking up first and second balls they're taking the tempo out of the game which probably doesn't suit Hearts and

I think the only slight disappointment they'll have with the amount of control and territory they had in the last 15-20 minutes they never translated into more chances of the game but there's no doubt whatsoever that at half time Mark that Rangers deserve their lead What did you make of it out there?

a bit of both they certainly have to show a lot more composure on the ball but we talked about them being outnumbered in the middle of the pitch and I think that's shown more with the first balls and the second balls when they're landing it's quite often the Rangers play that's landing on it I was just talking to Roger there that quite often in these type of games Derek McInnes then brings on a Blair Spittle in the wider area and asking him to tuck in is almost a

a third centre midfielder out of possession so it wouldn't surprise me if there's going to be a change in that area of the pitch I'm not sure if Chesnogov got booked for that tackle but I think if someone's going to be sacrificed pretty soon I'm expecting it to be him and it's whether he does go with a more pragmatic Blair Spittle or the man that Roger thought was a lucky not to start the game and Cargiota who's shown when he's came on he's got a lovely left foot and one thing's for sure he'll put balls into the box Well here come the teams Gabriel so just remind us of the starting elevens and up to speed if there are any changes

Yeah, like I said, not too surprised.

It's a change that Derek McInnes has made a lot this season.

They've felt they've not quite got control of the middle of the pitch and he doesn't want to sacrifice one of his strikers.

Quite often he'll play Blair Spittle as that kind of inside wide midfielder, shall we say, where he tries to tuck in and be an extra body in there.

And then, likewise, he can still drift out in the wider areas when they're on the ball to try and put deliveries into the box.

If we felt that Hearts were going to be a bit more calm, then just go and watch their kick-off.

gain territory and win any first and second balls but now they've got everyone in Rangers half they're camping Rangers in and it's now up to Rangers to try and show a bit of composure to work their way up the pitch but on the first two occasions and then there's a third there Rangers are just slashing the ball and giving them it back

Yeah and if you said roughly about Christmas time that Kiziridis isn't going to be in the nominees for the PFA Player of the Year you'd have been pretty shocked but such as being the kind of downturn in his performance levels since the turn of the year and I do think these are the games at the start of the season where he was excellent and he's been pretty quiet in that

that opening 45 minutes so I think if Hearts can start to get the likes of Kiziridis and Braga and Shanklin involved in the game a lot more it can certainly look like a different second half and you've got to say it's only been three and a half minutes but Hearts have definitely started the better not always easy to gather your thoughts and call mid-game but the option is there 01419511025 Lauren Shanklin hits one it's deflected and oh my goodness Blair Spittle on at the break

confusion out for a throw in which you know is going to come in long now from James Tavernier but that's been Rangers best creator it's been James Tavernier's hands it shows you that right foot is it can whip in deliveries to the box but every chance or every big chance shall we say that Rangers have came from has came from James Tavernier with these set pieces and a couple of occasions has been for these long throws so I think Rangers will be happy it's the first team they've actually got in Hartsey's half in the opening four and a half minutes so as it comes in

You always win them.

For me, I think it's clever when centre-halves do that.
