Hearts credits Spittal change for Rangers fightback

Shankland explained that with Rangers dominating possession and leading 1-0 at the break, the tactical change allowed Hearts to gain control in midfield and apply more pressure on the Rangers defense. The adjustment ultimately shifted momentum in Hearts' favor.

The victory extends Hearts' lead over Rangers to seven points with three games remaining. While acknowledging Rangers are still technically in the title race, Shankland noted it will be "difficult" for them to catch up, with Hearts now focusing on their upcoming match against Motherwell. albergomalica.it
