RANGERS eased to victory over Hearts as Tynecastle as Michael Beale recorded a tenth victory as manager to end the Jambos' impressive recent run…

This was another 90 minutes that showed the respective levels, however, as Neilson’s side were well beaten for the second time by Rangers this term. This one had all the ingredients you would want for a live fixture as Rangers visited Tynecastle. This was a reminder of just how difficult that challenge will be and there is some way to go before that becomes a reality. His praise for Neilson – who he tipped to be in the running to replace Steve Clark as The next check didn’t take as long but Rangers were on the wrong end of it once again. It was an accolade the American internationalist more than merited for a fine showing and Rangers were well on their way at that stage. The VAR calls aside, there was a plethora of chances as Hearts were overrun in midfield and found themselves second best throughout. The technology was needed just minutes after the restart as Alex Cochrane challenged Kent in the area. When the lead was doubled, it became a case of mission impossible. Once he gathered himself, a quick free-kick caught Hearts sleeping and Ryan Kent was free down the left, an area that Rangers exploited time after time. On a night where they could have struggled, and perhaps even stumbled, it was the clearest sign yet of what Beale is trying to build during his second stint at Ibrox. This was a tough test in its own right, though, and it was one that Rangers passed impressively.

We give the Rangers players a mark out of ten and rate their performance during the match against Hearts at Tynecastle.

His searing pace and movement was just too much for James Hill, forcing him to be replaced at the interval as he was in danger of being sent off. Was replaced by Antonio Colak with 15 minutes to go with a hat-trick very much on the cards. Ryan Kent: Stood the ball up perfectly for the opening goal and gave the Hearts defence an uncomfortable first half with his movement. John Lundstram: Quickly stamped his authority on the midfield battle with his aggressive nature, spooking his Hearts opponents. Survived a late handball claim, probably the most worrying moment of the night for him. Was denied his 50th penalty for the club by VAR’s intervention.

STEPHEN MCGOWAN: Hearts have plenty credit in the bank and rightly so. Out on their own as the third force in the land they entered this game on a 10-game ...

Forrest struck the outside of the upright in a start to the second half which proved a false dawn. A trademark Morelos knee-slide in front of the home fans went down as well as you might expect. After a lengthy review in the control room he was urged to take a look at the pitchside monitor. When Morelos sidefooted into the net from close range 10 minutes later an ironic chant of ‘it’s a conspiracy’ went up from the away support. Hopes of a foothold in the game provd short-lived. They looked like a team utterly drained of belief in the first half. When the Englishman released Morelos to flash a thumping strike wide of the post a ripple of apprehension passed round Tynecastle. At the fourth time of asking they were finally granted one for Morelos after a VAR review. A night which started badly for the home team went downhill fast. On nights like this the gap between second and third feels more like a chasm. Out on their own as the third force in the land they entered this game on a 10-game unbeaten run with a spring in their step. They had a notion this might be the night their woeful recent record against

Hearts vs Rangers Michael Beale is still unbeaten as Rangers boss and Robbie Neilson's men didn't even come close to ending that under the lights in Gorgie.

In the first 15 minutes of the first half we had chances to go and score more. It started with the forwards and the rest of the team backed them up and it was nice to see Alfredo score a couple more goals. They’re riding high here, in really good form, and we spoke before the game about how we had to be at our best. On both occasions, Morelos his trademark knee slide with a fingers on lips directed to peeved home supporters. But when the opportunity came to play we never connected with our passes, our passes were going back the way, making mistakes we probably haven’t made previously. So we changed to a four and it helped us get a bit of stability. Ryan Kent thought he’d won a penalty three minutes after the break, but I thought we were fantastic. It was a really strong performance, particularly the first half. The attacking was probably the poorest part of it. There are two sides to that, I thought Rangers played very well, pressed well, they were aggressive. I just think we didn’t get anywhere near the level we’ve been getting to.

Another double continues Alfredo Morelos' renaissance and in midfield Glen Kamara and John Lundstram provided the steel to allow Rangers' attacking players to ...

They have scarcely delivered a more complete performance under the Englishman. They harried Hearts from the off, never giving them a moment to settle, and kept up the relentless tempo. But Rangers negotiated it with aplomb and have now won six games in a row for the first time in almost two years.

On a night when Rangers' attacking players were all firing, Fashion Sakala was the standout. The Zambia striker had two goals disallowed and will be kicking ...

The Jambos were unbeaten in 10 ahead of Wednesday's Tynecastle showdown and manager Robbie Neilson picked a team loaded with attacking players.

It was a disappointing evening." I was delighted with three but it could have been more." "Zander Clark had good game but we were wasteful at times.

Jonah Heim became a front-line starting catcher for the first time in 2022, and he hopes to keep it that way in 2023.

Beale had hinted at the prospect of playing two strikers up front against Hearts but rather than pair Antonio Colak with Morelos, he moved Sakala more central ...

[Ryan Jack](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ryan-jack-yiWJcU8u0GEe5uX7/)) was giving me the look since he wasn’t starting. It seemed a strange choice and left [Robert Snodgrass](https://theathletic.com/football/player/robert-snodgrass-lgPrX31keCF6gJpq/) isolated in midfield. For Morelos, it was enough to warrant a post-VAR trademark knee slide in front of the Hearts fans who had been taunting his physique all night. [John Lundstram](https://theathletic.com/football/player/john-lundstram-tB3vCoGltdWFdAwU/) swept up four [Hearts](https://theathletic.com/football/team/heart-of-midlothian-fc/) attacks in the first 15 minutes with the authority he showed on the road to Sevilla, while [Malik Tillman](https://theathletic.com/football/player/malik-tillman-9MtrN2gY99U0MrgV/) and [Ryan Kent](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ryan-kent-E1rILw3WY9AyYapb/) were finding more space than they could wish for at Ibrox. He’s a little frustrated as the last twice he’s been on two goals I’ve taken him off, so I’m keeping him on his toes!” In possession, Hearts quickly started to look apprehensive, wary of Rangers’ intent to squeeze the life out of them. To leave him out was difficult but the other three have been so good. You have to earn the shirt. They had 13 and 10 touches each in the box, six and four shots each, and scored another three offside goals. It was based on intuition and partnership. [Rangers](https://theathletic.com/football/team/rangers-fc/) were fun.

So it's a good place for us to be in." When we are winning and winning away from home in front of a rival who are a place behind us in the table, they were unbeaten for 10 games, it was a big performance. "That's two away at Kilmarnock and two away at Hearts. I think he will regret that more than maybe Alfredo celebrating." I am over the moon with Alfredo at the minute. I think he could probably have a few more goals if I'm honest and that has probably driven him. "If we are going to say players can't celebrate goals now, we might as well stop the game," said Michael Beale. It's the hardest thing in football to do. "I think a lot is made about these things in Scotland. "When we score our first and second goal we are two yards from their fans. "I think he [Neil] will regret that more than maybe Alfredo celebrating. When McCann's comments were put to him, Rangers manager Beale said: "I wouldn't agree with that.

Connor Goldson's handball incident for Rangers against Hearts has been tipped to be a starting point for referees getting calls inside the penalty box ...

"A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. "But I don't think it can be given as a handball. The ridiculous thing is that weeks ago there would have been more of a chance of it being given. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised". IFAB rules state: "It is a handball offence if a player: "Deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball or touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. It maybe brushes past it.

6 Hearts vs Rangers VAR calls from Kent penalty claim to Goldson handball It was a convincing 3-0 win for the visitors as they ended a 10-game unbeaten run ...

“A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. The linesman flagged it offside, and VAR backed the call up. Stewart insisted those in the VAR room had got it right. However, Sakala was adjudged to have gone too early by the linesman and celebrations were curtailed. It’s the linesman that thought it was a penalty and VAR eventually gets it right.” Sakala was in again – but was denied by VAR for a second time. It was them Sakala’s turn to find the net – and see if ruled out. The Colombian enjoyed an impressive night in the capital – but in truth it could have been much better had he held his run to net the opening goal. Ryan Kent also was awarded a penalty in the box while Hearts man Alex Cochrane protested his innocence – and VAR would clear the Jambos’ defender of any wrongdoing. Michael Stewart insisted it was an obvious call for the two officials to make: “I know this is quite clearly not a penalty kick. John Beaton performed a U-turn on his spot kick award when Ryan Kent went down in the box with the replay showing there was no contact with Alex Cochrane.

Nathaniel Lowe, after the best season of his career, is focused on improving his defense.

The Texas Rangers quietly had an excellent offseason, bringing in Jacob deGrom and Nathan Eovaldi to boost the top end of their rotation.

However, that likely won't be enough to get them anywhere near the playoffs. I think that a detail that can get looked over is that there are still major league starters returning from the last year and the year previous who ate a lot of innings for us as we went through a lot of struggles." They're poised, on paper, to potentially make some noise in the American League West.

Michael Beale says Rangers would cope if Ryan Kent, Alfredo Morelos and Malik Tillman were not at Ibrox because of the increased options in his squad.

"We've had some tricky away games back to back but all we can do is focus on the next game.

"He is a young player that has already amassed good experience both in domestic and European competition.

The Light Blues boss is hopeful that two key stars remain in town but can see a reality where they aren't.

MICHAEL BEALE insists Scottish football should do more to talk itself up and showcase the game to the wider world as he hit back at Neil McCann's…

“Maybe we need to talk our game up a little bit. I think we’ve got good players in the league, players who have gone out of our league and done really well. Beale said: “It’s not so much in the media down there.
