Hearts wait on Wilson

Hearts will make a late decision on Danny Wilson for their Scottish Championship crunch clash with Rangers.

The defender has a hamstring problem and will not be risked if he is not fully fit.

Osman Sow and Adam Eckersley could return from injury though.

Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson said: "I don't think this game is going to have a huge bearing on the rest of the season, it's another three points.

"From our perspective we need to go and use this as an opportunity to go and play and try and get three points. We're going to go out there and try and pass the ball and do things right and play the same style of football that we've had this season."

Rangers boss Ally McCoist hopes to have a near fully-fit squad.

Lee Wallace is fit again after shaking off the niggle which kept him out of the 1-1 draw with Alloa last weekend, while Fraser Aird returns after four games out with a thigh tear.

Stevie Smith suffered a calf strain against the Wasps but is fit for the crucial Gorgie clash, meaning long-term shoulder casualty Cammy Bell is the only man missing out.
