It's a huge night under the lights in Gorgie as Ibrox boss McInnes heads back along the M8 to Gorgie for the first time since leaving

Stick or twist?

Rangers manager Derek McInnes knows he’s in for a warm welcome from former employers Hearts this evening, with the raucous Tynecastle backing sure to fire the men in maroon up for a 90+ minute pitched battle.

The big question for the manager this evening is whether or not to stick or twist on his tactics. The borderline 4-2-4 formation deployed in the teeth of Storm Boelo was enough to blow St Johnstone away at Ibrox, but is there a risk that this ultra-attacking setup could leave too many gaps for the Jambos’ attack to exploit?

With Hearts nursing a serious defensive injury crisis, attack may be the best form of defence for Rangers this evening.

Kim Minsu and Badredine Bouanani worked very well together off the flanks, with the combination of the two providing a real attacking balance.

Djeidi Gassama did well off the bench at the weekend - grabbing the assist for fellow sub Tochi Chukwuani for Rangers’ fourth - and the Mauritanian could provide real directness and pace off the bench as an impact sub.

After a slight tactical tweak in the game against Dundee ended in spilled points at Dens Park, the smart money would be on the visitors keeping the same lineup and layout.
