    Kris Boyd is back with Ryan Rowe and David Friel to dissect the weekend's Premiership action, as Hearts maintained their place at the top of the table. And they have Edinburgh rivals Hibs to thank for holding Rangers to a draw and the panel debate how big a blow those dropped points will be to Danny Rohl. Kris explains why he believes Rohl picked the WRONG team for the game at Easter Road and is adamant that James Tavernier should start EVERY game. How much do Rangers need another striker and will they get one in before the transfer deadline? The panel also review Celtic's 2-0 win over Falkirk but Kris isn't convinced the Hoops are in a better position than they were a few weeks ago - and that the fans could still turn on them if they lose again soon in the league.
