Rangers striker Youssef Chermiti faced supporters after the defeat to Hearts at Tynecastle.

The Ibrox side had a 1-0 lead at half-time, thanks to Dujon Sterling's deflected volley.

However, Hearts staged a second-half comeback with goals from Stephen Kingsley and Lawrence Shankland.

This victory moved them seven points clear of Rangers in the Scottish Premiership, and three points ahead of second-placed Celtic.

The results effectively ended Rangers' chances of clinching the league title, with just nine points left to play for.

After the match, Chermiti was seen engaging with fans in the away end at Tynecastle, listening to comments from a number of supporters.

Discussing the impact of the defeat, Danny Rohl said: "I think there's no question mark. We're in a really difficult situation now.

"I think we worked so hard to come so close in the last two games. It's not enough when you play just one half on your best level.

"I think there's no question mark, we have to show courage, and this is what I expect and demand of my players in the next three games, to take three fantastic results."
