Rangers attacker Dean Shiels has said that he is hoping to lead Rangers to victory over champions Hearts on Saturday.

The Gers can leapfrog Shiels's former club Hibernian into second place with a win, which would see them qualify automatically for the playoff semi-final.

"I am not the most popular person at Tynecastle but it is all part of the game and I have a good record and I have scored a few goals there," Shiels told the club's official website.

"Hopefully the good run continues and we get the result because we have a lot of belief that we can go there and win and we know what we have to do, it is just carrying that out on the day.

"My favourite goal at Tynecastle would have been the one I scored in the Edinburgh derby for Hibs and it got us into Europe, we won 2-1 and it meant we finished third that year – that is always a proud moment that I cherish and hopefully that happens again on Saturday."

Shiels has made 58 appearances for Rangers since joining in 2013, scoring 17 goals.
