HEARTS announced last week that they will close a section of Tynecastle for the remainder of the season after a series of unsavoury supporter incidents and Rangers will be the first visitors there this weekend.

Having that part of the Wheatfield Stand shut should be an advantage to Rangers. Tynecastle is an intimidating place to go, the fans are right on top of you and it is always a difficult place to go and play.

This move might work against Hearts on the park. But I believe that Ann Budge has shown great leadership by taking the action that she has and you have to applaud her.

The same goes for Leeann Dempster at Hibernian. We have to stop supporters coming onto the pitch, stop things being thrown at players and stop offensive signing and Hearts and Hibs have taken positive steps and deserve enormous credit.

On the park, I think it will work against Hearts. They are coming off the back of the semi win and it will be a really interesting game.
