Barry Ferguson believes the Rangers players shouldn't need a rally cry from skipper James Tavernier to fire themselves up for Hearts.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men defeated Dundee United before the international break to end a run of three heavy defeats on the trot while they were handed a major boost with Celtic's shock loss at St Mirren meaning the gap between the top two sits at just two points.
The Light Blues play first this weekend and know victory would take them top of the tree ahead of Ange Postecoglou and his Hoops side hosting Motherwell. Former Ibrox skipper Ferguson knows his old side need to go to the capital and win to put some pressure on the Scottish champions.
