Rangers vs Hearts Betting Tips: Rangers to win -1AH
Finishing the season on a high, the Gers come into this fixture on the back of three successive league victories, including a dominant 2:0 win against champions Celtic.
While set to finish the season trophyless, there is a growing sense of optimism around Ibrox, with Michael Beale beginning to deliver some impressive performances and results in Glasgow. Since his appointment back in November, Rangers have actually collected one point more than their city rivals, with Beale´s boys winning 18 and losing just two of 21 games over the past six months.
At Ibrox, Rangers have been particularly strong, with the Govan-based outfit unbeaten at this venue for over 12 months in the Premiership. Winning 18 and drawing just two of their last 20 since April 2022, Rangers have lost just one of their last 56 home Premiership games since January 2020, with a remarkable 49 wins achieved in that period.
Contrastingly, Hearts make the short journey to Glasgow, having endured a miserable run of form on their travels. Losing five of their last six on the road, the Jambos have won just one of 11 away games since October.
In addition, the Edinburgh-based side have lost each of their last league games against Rangers, with the Teddy Bears covering the -1 handicap in five of those victories.
Ultimately, with Rangers in much better form, we expect only one winner in Glasgow on Thursday and considering their excellent recent form, the Gers seem likely to cover the -1 AH with Hearts record both in this fixture and in away fixtures over the past two months, particularly poor.

Head Coach Beale may make one or two changes, with veteran goalkeeper Alan McGregor potentially getting a final home appearance before he departs the club in the summer.
Other expected departees, including Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos, will also hope for minutes before their contracts expire in June.

Hearts team news
Led by former Rangers star Steven Naismith, Hearts arrive in Glasgow boosted by a big win against Aberdeen last weekend and are expected to retain much of the same starting XI.
Top scorer Laurence Shankland will lead the attack with creative support likely to be provided by another former Ger, Barrie McKay.
