Hearts produce stunning comeback to beat Rangers and close in on first Scottish title in 66 years

  • Hearts secured a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Rangers at Tynecastle on Monday night to move a step closer to winning the Scottish Premiership title for the first time since 1960.
  • It was the visitors who dominated the first half and they deservedly went in front through Dujon Sterling’s deflected strike.
  • However, Hearts came back strongly after the break and equalised through Stephen Kingsley, before Lawrence Shankland netted the winning goal.
  • Hearts are now three points clear of second-placed Celtic with three games to go, and the two title-chasers are due to meet each other on the final day of the season on 16 May.
  • Meanwhile, Rangers are now seven points adrift of Hearts, and look set to miss out on the title following their damaging defeat on the road.
