A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : Scotland: Premiership
Venue: Tynecastle Park
Sunday 21st December 2025, 1330hrs (GMT)
Sunday lunchtime sees the surprise Scottish Premiership league leaders, Hearts, taking on 3rd placed Rangers at Tynecastle Park on Sunday lunchtime with the hosts looking to not only claim another big scalp but also extend their lead at the top of the table.
Hearts head into Sunday’s encounter with The Gers on the back of two wins on the trot courtesy of victories over the likes of Celtic and Falkirk, both of which were away from home, so Derek McInnes’ side will be brimming with confidence here.
The Jambos have suffered just the single loss in their previous 15 matches in the domestic top flight whilst collecting nine wins in the process and Hearts also remain unbeaten on home soil, boasting a solid home record of 5-3-0 18/6.
Rangers returned to winning ways in the Scottish top flight on Monday night when Danny Röhl’s side registered a 1-0 home win against Hibernian which no doubt would have been very welcome indeed after being dealt a 2-1 loss away from home at Ferencvaros in the Europa League beforehand.
The visitors have lost just once throughout this season’s Scottish Premiership campaign as The Gers have picked up seven wins and been involved in no fewer than eight draws as well - only Motherwell (9) have been involved in more stalemates so far this term.
With just one loss in their last eight matches overall, Rangers will feel they stand a decent chance of getting something out of this upcoming trip to Tynecastle Park, especially as they also remain unbeaten on their travels in the top flight this season.
The Betting Verdict
Hearts secured a valuable 2-0 win away at Rangers in their previous meeting and the hosts might just sneak a narrow win here too.
The Pick :
Hearts 2-1 Rangers
