Hearts were top of the Scottish Premiership standings at Xmas 2025– a rarity in a league that has been dominated by Rangers and Celtic for the last few decades.
This HMFC-RFC game took place after the Scottish Premiership table split in April 2026, and the loss has effectively ended Rangers’ title hopes. They were one point behind Heart of Midlothian at the time of the split and are now seven points behind with three games to play.
