Gio van Bronckhorst is going to have to use the breadth and depth of his squad between now and the World Cup break if Rangers are to realise their ambitions this season.
A run of 13 games in 44 days commences today and it doesn't come much tougher than a trip to Gorgie to face Hearts. The Jambos are the best team in Scotland outside of Glasgow and know a victory will put them level on points - perhaps even above them if they can win by a couple of goals.
For Rangers, that simply can't happen if they want to keep the pressure on Celtic, whose lead at the top now stands at just two points after Van Bronckhorst and his team cut the gap before the break. And with that in mind, the Dutchman has a couple of big calls to make to keep things running smoothly.
