Glasgow Rangers moved to within two points of the top of the table with a thrilling 4-2 win over Hearts at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.
The Light Blues are second in the league, a point above their Glasgow rivals, and are now within touching distance of the league leaders after beating them.
Youssef Chermiti was the star of the show for Danny Rohl’s side with a stunning hat-trick to claim all three points for the Gers against the Jam Tarts.

The Portugal U21 international is a curious player because he had gone six games without a goal in all contributions since his brace in a win over Celtic in the Premiership before this game.
Chermiti has saved his goals for the big occasions, scoring six of his seven league goals against Celtic and Hearts, and was certainly the right man for the moment at Ibrox on Sunday.
Rangers’ best players vs Hearts
It is hard to rate the former Everton centre-forward’s performance as anything other than a ten out of ten because he essentially won the game for the Gers with his first career hat-trick, and he also played a part in the build up to the first goal with a header that was saved.
The Portuguese striker, who won 14 of his 26 duels, scored his three goals from 1.13 xG worth of chances, which speaks to how clinical he was with the chances that came his way.
