Stephen Kingsley targets a 'pop' at Rangers as he laces up shooting boots

Stephen Kingsley is pulling his shooting boots on and taking aim against Rangers - because he's determined to finally win a major trophy.

But he has the chance to take a big step closer to it this weekend when Hearts take on Rangers at Hampden looking to make the Viaplay Cup final on December 17. Asked if that elusive major trophy plays on his mind, he told the Edinburgh Evening News: "It doesn't affect me because experience helps, but it's a massive goal of mine.

Since moving to Tynecastle two years ago, Kingsley has cultivated a reputation as a free-kick specialist and has quite the highlight reel with 12 goals in his 115 appearances. He scored a stunner against Hibs in the Scottish Cup semi-final in 2022 and asked if he was out to do the same again against Rangers, he said: "Yeah, I'm hoping it's something similar this time. If there is a free-kick or if I get into good areas in open play, I might have a wee pop...

The game comes a week on from a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat for Kingsley's team at Ibrox, a stoppage time one-two punch from James Tavernier and Danilo overturning Lawrence Shankland's early opener. But Hearts are taking the positives rather than the negatives from that one as he went on: "There were definitely positives from last Sunday at Ibrox. We knocked the ball about in the first half.
