Rangers are currently 3rd in the table, three points behind leaders Celtic, who are 1st with 18 points. A win for Rangers at Parkhead could blow open the title race, as Hearts are currently 2nd with 13 points.
The Old Firm/Glasgow derby match is not scheduled until 3 January, but Rangers' win last week has given them a glimmer of hope. Derek McInnes' side beat Celtic in the League Cup, which bought him time and credibility. Martin O'Neill's Celtic, on the other hand, were in cantankerous form before and after their Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros.
The title race is heating up, with Rangers and Hearts looking to close the gap on Celtic. A win for Rangers at Parkhead would be a significant boost to their title hopes.
