Heart of Midlothian Mclaughlin shines again

Victories at Ibrox might not be as rare as Scotland rugby triumphs over England but our record is sufficiently poor that we generally travel more in hope than expectation.

Murty’s side have found impressive form of late and most of us would have taken a draw, with our current playing style away from home built on defence. In the event Rangers won more easily than the score suggested, Jon Mclaughlin yet again stating his credentials for international selection.

Following Tuesday’s draw with Killie, we now have a winnable cup tie at Motherwell on Sunday, closely followed by another Edinburgh derby where the subject of “natural order” is sure to be mentioned.
