Hearts have been right up there for a reason — organised, compact and dangerous between the middle and the front. To be fair, you can see why fans are excited, but the simple truth is the title run-in still feels very much like ours to decide.
Hearts' shape and where the danger comes from
Mcinnes has that team drilled. Every man seems to understand the job he’s got to do and the passes they play look so precise because players are moving into expected positions. That kind of familiarity breeds confidence: blind passes work when you know a teammate will be there. Their spine — midfield into attack — has been particularly effective, and if they keep most of that group together and add a couple of decent players they’ll be right in the mix again next season.
What that means for Rangers
All of which makes this season more tense, but it doesn’t change where we stand. If we can go on and see it out having only played really well in four or five games, that’s an achievement in itself and gives Danny something to build on. Experience matters; a full season under his belt would be valuable for next year. Yes, that lot could nick something dramatic — a late winner isn’t impossible — but I prefer the fact it’s in our hands. No need to hope for favours. Win our remaining games and we finish top.
Rommen and the squad mood
Rommen’s injury is a proper sickener. You never want to see anyone crocked, especially when every selection matters. That said, these moments test the squad’s depth and character. Whoever steps in must keep the tempo and pressing right, because margins are small in this run-in.
So yes, respect to Hearts — they’ve been excellent — but let’s stay focused. Keep winning, keep the shape, and let’s finish what we started. Simple as that.
