Prediction

  • The 2024/25 Scottish Premiership season starts, just as the 2023/24 campaign came to a conclusion, with Hearts and Rangers going toe-to-toe at Tynecastle.
  • Steven Naismith guided Heart of Midlothian to a strong third-place finish and two cup semi-finals last season after a stuttering start. Hearts hope to finish there again, but will have to attempt to cope with both continental and domestic football this season, and aim to get one over Rangers on the opening day as the Gers were the only team they failed to beat in the Scottish Premiership last season.
  • Philippe Clement will begin a season with Rangers, after joining the club in October 2023 and winning last season's Scottish League Cup in one of two competitions where they beat the Jambos at Hampden. Whilst winning a trophy last season was deemed a success, the Gers want to go at least one better and aim to wrestle back the Scottish Premiership from Celtic or the Scottish Cup from their arch-rivals.
  • The two teams played out a thrilling 3-3 draw on the final day of last season but Rangers appear to have Hearts' number so could squeeze past them to kick off the new campaign.

    @Nurulislam good insight, should have followed. When 0-0, usually there is a hail of corners.
