The Ibrox men blew their chance at reaching this weekend's Betfred Cup final with defeat to Aberdeen in the last four and it is the Dons who will take on Brendan Rodgers' Celtic to decide the first trophy chance of the season.

Gerrard said: We want to be competitive in every single game and Hearts is the next one. There is an opportunity to go top of the table because Celtic and Aberdeen play in the cup final.

To be honest, I'd rather be in the cup final but it is what it is. It will be a tough game.

Craig has got the team flying high. They've had some injuries of late which has probably affected their form but they've still had a fantastic season so far.

We're under no illusions that it will be a tough game. It's an intense crowd which is close to the pitch.

We're on the back of a European night and it's a really tough test for the players but we're capable of getting the result we want.'
