Ryan Jack will be free to face Hearts on Saturday after the Rangers midfielder had his controversial weekend red card overturned on appeal.

The former Aberdeen skipper was sent off during Saturday's drama-filled defeat to Hibernian after appearing to motion his head towards Leith frontman Anthony Stokes - but the dismissal has now been wiped by Hampden disciplinary chiefs.

Captain Lee Wallace, meanwhile, could return from his thigh complaint for the Ladbrokes Premiership visit of his former side after boss Pedro Caixinha reported his squad was at full strength.

Isma Goncalves is set to retain his spot in the Hearts side for their trip to Ibrox.

The striker also successfully appealed against a red card shown in the win over Kilmarnock last weekend, while Jamie Walker is also pushing for a start against the club who have tried to sign him this summer.

Rangers have had a mixed start to their Premiership campaign, beating Motherwell 2-1 on the opening day before a 3-2 defeat by Hibernian at Ibrox on Saturday.

Hearts won two of their four league meetings with Rangers last season (L2), however, both wins were recorded at Tynecastle.

Despite registering a joint league-high eight shots in his first two games, Josh Windass is yet to register a goal, with only one shot being on target.

After scoring in his first three competitive fixtures for Hearts (all League Cup), Kyle Lafferty, who had a four-year spell at Ibrox, has now gone three games on the bounce without registering a goal.
