Rangers welcome Hearts to Ibrox in their final home game of the season as they look to try and end the campaign with a flourish.
Manager Michael Beale's team have bounced back from a Premiership defeat to Aberdeen at Pittodrie and a Scottish Cup semi final loss to Celtic to win their last three matches, avenging both of those defeats in the process.
They then followed up those wins with another impressive triumph against Hibernian at Easter Road on Sunday, with midfielder Todd Cantwell finding the net for the fourth time in six matches in the 3-1 victory.

With several players set to depart Govan and with others still fighting for their future, manager Beale will see these final two games of the season as a chance to assess his options going into the summer transfer window.
The likes of Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos are leaving the club in the summer and are joined by Scott Arfield, Filip Helander and Allan McGregor in coming to the end of their time at Ibrox. Rangers are set for a big recruitment drive in the off-season to bulk up their squad.
But before that the Gers take on Hearts side that are buzzing following Saturday's 2-1 comeback victory against Aberdeen. Interim manager Steven Naismith's men were well worthy of their three points, and have piled pressure on the Dons who have a two point lead in third place in the Premiership with two matches to play.
Beale will be fully aware of the threats posed by 27-goal striker Lawrence Shankland and winger Josh Ginnelly, who rattled in a fantastic shot from distance to equalise against Aberdeen.
The Englishman is therefore likely to try and retain the same team that have won well in the last three matches, as the Light Blues try and finish the season with aplomb.
Robby McCrorie has started the last three matches in goals, and will see the penultimate match of the 2022/23 campaign as another chance to stake a claim to be the Gers number one next season.
However with Allan McGregor set to end his second spell with the club, Beale could start with the veteran as a gesture to his long service at Ibrox although he also has the option of bringing him on in the final stages for an ovation from the crowd.
Elsewhere Nicolas Raskin is a doubt after picking up a knock in the win at Easter Road last weekend and may not be risked.
Injury will likely deny Ryan Kent and Steven Davis the opportunity to run out one last time at Ibrox, but Scott Arfield will hope to play some part in the game against Hearts so that he can say his goodbyes to the home crowd. Alfredo Morelos has returned to training as has Borna Barisic, Antonio Colak, Scott Wright, Glen Kamara and Rabbi Matondo and they will all be keen to play some part in Govan this evening.
Romanian playmaker Ianis Hagi was also on the scoresheet against Hibs, and is in line for just his third start of the season following a lengthy spell out on the side lines with a serious knee injury.
