Rangers put in a tremendous five star showing to down Hearts at Ibrox and open up an unprecedented five point gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
The Jambos’ nine-game winning streak came to an abrupt halt when the Gers defeated Scotland’s third team 5-0 to lay down a title marker.
The Rangers supporters were astonished at Govan as goals from Mohamed Diomande, Oscar Cortes, Cyriel Dessers (two), and Fabio Silva were more than enough to crush Hearts.
As a result, Rangers now lead the Scottish Premiership by five points over their Old Firm rivals Celtic, who visit Motherwell tomorrow afternoon.
In an incredible turn of events at Ibrox, Rangers, who were in total control against Hearts and may have scored even more, were in many ways flattered by the score line.
Rangers purr in Hearts demolition job
Mohamed Diomande scored for Rangers in just the second minute of play after the team laid down its markers from the opening whistle in a convincing performance against Hearts.
The Ivorian’s long-range strike was his second goal while wearing a Rangers jersey, and it was also his second consecutive opener. All of the club’s January additions found the ledger.
Eight minutes before halftime, Oscar Cortes curled a second goal—and the team’s first—past a defenceless Zander Clark as Rangers never gave up in a remarkable first-half performance.
Before the half ended, Cyriel Dessers, who may have scored a hat-trick in the first half, made it 3-0 by side-footing a cross from John Souttar into the net.
Minutes after the half ended, the Nigerian Nightmare scored a second goal, Rangers’ fourth of the game, and Fabio Silva completed the tally by tapping home with 65 minutes remaining.
Ibrox side send Scottish Premiership message
Hearts were mercilessly destroyed at Ibrox by Rangers, who displayed intent, purpose, and flair from the opening whistle.
The incredible outcome sends a message to the rest of the division surrounding this Gers squad in one of the most commanding performances of Philippe Clement’s Ibrox career to date.
Rangers are obviously laser-focused on winning the major awards this season, and teams will have to stop them if they want to avoid putting a lot of pressure on Old Firm rivals Celtic in the process.
Even though there is still a long way to go until the League medals are awarded in May, this victory in February made a message.
