The games keep coming thick and fast for new Hearts boss Neil Critchley.
One potential leveller today is that the opponents are Rangers who were also in European action on Thursday.
While the Jambos were suffering their second defeat under the Englishman, Gers were earning a good point against Olympiacos out in Athens.
The Tynecastle men will hope the fact they were at home to Heidenheim in the Conference League and not on their travels too could hand them some sort of advantage.
Critchley’s side could be pleased with their performance and could have been ahead at half-time after really taking the game to their Bundesliga visitors. But they didn’t take their chances and were then punished by two swift and clinical counter attacks in the second period.
They remain 11th in the table but a rate win at Ibrox could propel them up to eighth and four points ahead of rivals Hibs who sit bottom.
The Hearts team is in ahead of this one and Not the Old Firm has it for you below.
