Rangers out to apply pressure as Hearts aim to 'annoy'

""We have a big opportunity to close the gap from 13 points to 2 points - and it's a great opportunity," he said."

""Generally, it's about consistency, to take consistently three points in a row, again and again and again, and I think in the last couple of weeks we did really well at this.""

""If you are 13 points ahead of a club and you drop maybe to two points, maybe there's also pressure on them.""

Rangers can reduce the gap to Heart of Midlothian to two points with a home win at Ibrox, reversing much of a previous 13-point deficit since Danny Rohl's October appointment. Only five points separate first and second, with Celtic still close in a three-horse title race after late winners for both Hearts and Celtic. Rangers conceded a late equaliser to 10-man Motherwell, while Hearts scored late to beat Hibernian. Rohl emphasized consistent three-point returns and suggested narrowing the gap could apply pressure on Hearts ahead of the crucial fixture.
