Rangers squad revealed for Hearts as Premiership's top two square off at Ibrox with Kemar Roofe in doubt

The Premiership is back and there's a massive game to get us straight back into the action at Ibrox.

Champions Rangers welcome unbeaten Hearts with just a point separating the two sides going into the mouthwatering clash.

There's a huge carrot for Robbie Neilson's visitors who can go top with a victory, though they've not managed that particular feat since 2014.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard will check on the fitness of striker Kemar Roofe following his international duty exploits with Jamaica.

The striker played and scored for his country against Honduras and flew back immediately after but did not arrive in Glasgow in time for Friday's training session.

Ryan Kent (hamstring) could return to training next week while Ryan Jack is making his way back following calf surgery. Filip Helander remains on the sidelines with a knee problem and Nnamdi Ofoborh (heart issue) is also still missing.

Hearts manager Neilson has the luxury of a full-strength squad.

John Souttar is fit again after missing the last two matches with a thigh strain.
