Rangers Earn 2-2 Draw at Hearts as Derek McInnes Booed on Tynecastle Return

Rangers fought back to secure a 2-2 draw at Tynecastle on Saturday, with Olwethu Makhanya scoring a late equaliser against Hearts. The match marked Derek McInnes's first return to Edinburgh since leaving Hearts for Ibrox in June, and the home support made their feelings clear by booing the Rangers manager as he emerged from the tunnel. McInnes had guided Hearts to a close second-place finish in the Scottish Premiership last season before departing, and the reception underlined the lingering resentment among fans. The result keeps Rangers in the title race, while Hearts will rue missed chances to claim all three points. Meanwhile, Celtic also dropped points in a draw, leaving the Premiership table finely balanced. Martin O'Neill expressed disappointment after Dundee United's result, adding to a weekend of twists. With both Glasgow clubs held, the title battle remains wide open as the season enters a critical phase.
