Hearts prepare to entertain Glasgow Rangers at Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 33 of the 138 games played, and losing 70.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tynecastle Stadium was earlier this season, where Rangers annihilated the Jambo's 0-4 in a Scottish Premier match.
