Hearts boss Craig Levein cautions his side of the unpredictable mentality of Rangers, after they suffered a 4-0 defeat to Celtic.

Hearts will face Rangers at the Ibrox Stadium this weekend, and the home side will be down Lee Wallace and Kenny Miller who have been suspended following a heated argument with boss Graeme Murty.

Levein said ahead of the clash: ''There's been a bit of a stramash the last few days. Up until the Celtic game I thought they were ticking over fairly nicely in that quest for second place.''

He added that the Old Firm defeat, will make Rangers' mentality very unpredictable. He said: ''Is it a good time to play Rangers? It depends how they react.''

Levein warned: ''I would be wary of any team that has suffered a 4-0 defeat because generally there's a bounce back and a willingness not to go through that situation again. I see that happening in this situation as well.'' 

Former Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty, who now plays for Hearts, has promised that he will not celebrate if he manages to score at Ibrox.

He said: ''They [Wallace and Miller] are going to be disappointed at not playing. Lee is the captain of the club...he probably had a right to say something. Fingers crossed they sort it out and we'll see them in a Rangers shirt again.''
