O Rangers precisou de um cabeceio de Olwethu Makhanya aos 89 minutos para arrancar um empate por 2 a 2 no Hearts, resultado que interrompeu a sequência de nove vitórias no Campeonato Escocês e deixou o time quatro pontos atrás do Celtic.
Kevin Kelsy abriu o placar para o Rangers aos 16 minutos, aproveitando um erro de Laurent Mendy. Depois do intervalo, Claudio Braga e Calvin Miller marcaram cedo e viraram o jogo para o Hearts, e só o gol de cabeça no fim empatou. O empate esticou a invencibilidade do Hearts em casa para 26 partidas, e o tropeço do Celtic diante do Dundee United manteve a diferença em quatro pontos.
Derek McInnes, de volta ao Tynecastle pela primeira vez desde que saiu para o Ibrox em junho, foi recebido com vaias altas da torcida da casa ao sair do túnel.
Kris Boyd não se impressionou com o que viu do antigo clube. “Eles roubaram um ponto, porque, especialmente no segundo tempo, tem que ser melhor”, disse.
“Se você quer ganhar um campeonato, tem que haver momentos no jogo em que você domine”, acrescentou. “Quando está sofrendo, troque alguns passes que frustrem o adversário. Confie em mim, não existe nada pior do que correr atrás de um time que segura a bola por um tempo. O Rangers não faz isso.”
Boyd argumentou que o antigo clube não tem jogadores capazes de segurar a bola e desorganizar os adversários, e que o trabalho pareceu apressado diante de um Hearts construído para pressionar. Ele também destacou Emmanuel Fernandez, dizendo que o jogador pareceu desconfortável diante do ataque da casa e repetidamente criou problemas para os próprios companheiros.
