Spittal's half-time change key to Hearts' fightback

Lawrence Shankland has revealed that the introduction of Blair Spittal at half-time was instrumental in Hearts' victory against Rangers. The Hearts captain explained that the change allowed the team to create more space for their strikers in front of the Rangers defense.

With Rangers dominating and holding a 1-0 lead at the break, Shankland admitted they needed to adjust their approach. 'We managed to bring Blair on. It sorted the middle of the pitch for us,' he said. 'It allowed us to get a press at the top and I think that changed the game for us.' The victory takes Hearts seven points clear of Rangers with three games remaining. xsportfeed.life
