"Hearts hit the front in the 16th minute when Emmanuel Fernandez's sloppy pass ended with Claudio Braga teeing up Marc Leonard, who arrowed a right-footed shot into the top-right corner. But their lead lasted for just three minutes when Michael Steinwender sliced into his own net after Alexander Schwolow had done brilliantly to repel Chermiti's initial header. However, Steinwender atoned for his earlier error in the 30th minute with his teasing cross finding Braga, whose outstanding header back across goal looped past Jack Butland."
"Rangers responded again six minutes before the break through Chermiti, who bundled his way past Craig Halkett's sliding challenge before finishing at Schwolow's near post. And Rangers led for the first time just before the hour, as Chermiti got in front of his marker to power Andreas Skov Olsen's home with an excellent near-post header. Chermiti completed his treble on the stroke of full-time, collecting Djeidi Gassama's pass into the area before taking a touch and sealing the win with a ruthless right-footed finish."
Rangers produced a comeback win at Ibrox as Youssef Chermiti scored a hat-trick in a 4-2 victory over Hearts. Hearts took the lead through Marc Leonard before Michael Steinwender's own goal levelled the match. Steinwender then provided the cross for Claudio Braga to put Hearts ahead again, but Chermiti equalised shortly before half-time. Chermiti put Rangers ahead early in the second half with a near-post header from Andreas Skov Olsen's delivery and completed his treble with a composed finish from Djeidi Gassama's pass on the stroke of full-time. The win moves Rangers within two points of Hearts in the Scottish Premiership.
