Ex Hearts star Ryan Stevenson reckons current Tynecastle boss Derek McInnes is the closest Rangers could have got to Walter Smith – insisting their decision to overlook him for the Ibrox hotseat was a huge error.
The Jambos have an opportunity to put down a big marker in the Scottish Premiership with they travel to Govan this weekend, with Stevenson relishing the encounter against Russell Martin’s struggling side.And he believes the Light Blues head coach could be “needing a helicopter” out of Ibrox this weekend if they suffer a defeat to the capital club, who harbour lofty ambitions of splitting the Old Firm in the near future.Thankfully, Rangers’ hierarchy made the same mistakes that Hearts bigwigs did before they finally saw sense. And what an opportunity for Del to go and prove it’s my old team that’s flying and leave Martin needing a helicopter.
“I’m absolutely buzzing for Saturday. It’s a huge game and a massive gauge for Del to see where his players are at. This is the acid test. In one game, Hearts will find out if they will be able to, I’m not saying challenge the Old Firm for the title, but put in a genuine and sustained fight.
