Robbie Neilson has claimed his Hearts side were in the ascendancy in the final period against Rangers and the home side were time-wasting and happy with the narrow win.
The Jambos arrived at Ibrox on the back of two league wins on the trot and faced an under fire Giovanni van Bronckhorst and his Light Blues after they suffered a shock weekend defeat at St Johnstone to fall seven points behind Celtic at the top of the Premiership table with the result sparking a furious reaction from fans towards James Tavernier in Perth.
Malik Tillman proved to be the Ibrox hero as his strike secured a much-needed three points for Rangers as they bid to get back on track. They face St Mirren on the road this weekend before the World Cup brings the Premiership to a halt for five weeks. Last night's results leave the Ibrox men seven points behind the Hoops while Hearts are in fifth - just two points off Aberdeen in third spot.
