Steven Naismith wins it at the death

Rudi Skacel marked his first start for Hearts with a first half opener, before Kyle Lafferty came off the bench to haul Rangers back into the match.

Just when it looked as though both teams would have to settle for a draw, Naismith - who also grabbed the winner against Bursaspor - secured all three points deep into injury time.

Skacel grabbed the only goal of the first half as the Tynecastle side headed into half-time with the advantage over the Scottish champions.

Kevin Kyle flicked into the path of Skacel and a mix-up between Madjid Bougherra and goalkeeper Allan McGregor allowed him through on goal and to bundle into the back of the net.

Rangers had plenty of possession but failed to find the back of the net in the opening 45 minutes.

They were not too far away when Sasa Papac's cross was touched on by Steven Naismith for Jelavic but an acrobatic overhead kick from the Croatian was pushed over the crossbar by Kello.

Naismith then picked up the first booking of the game for a foul on David Obua, and was joined in the referee's book by Eggert Jonsson, as Hearts headed into the break with the advantage.

Hearts could have doubled their advantage after the restart when Calum Elliot shrugged off David Weir and tried his luck with a shot at goal that fell inches wide of the post.

At the other end, Weiss was only able to produce a weak effort that was comfortably smothered by the goalkeeper as the home side defiantly clung onto their lead.

The champions were threatening again when the clearance from a Weiss corner fell to the feet of Papac but his poweful volley was blocked by Kello, before Davis blasted well over after collecting a flick on from Jelavic.

With time running out for Rangers, Steven Whittaker had a go with a shot from distance that clipped team-mate Naismith en-route but was still gathered by Kello at the near post.

Kyle Lafferty was then thrown into the action for Jelavic with 15 minutes to go, while Hearts replaced goalscorer Skacel with Ryan Stevenson.

Four minutes later, Lafferty equalised. Darren Barr was booked for hauling down Naismith 25 yards out and the Northern Irishman stepped up to dispatch a low free-kick into the back of the net.

Hearts should have restored their lead just moments later when Kyle met a cross from Craig Thomson only to squander a great chance by nodding over from six yards.

But it was Naismith who had the final say three and a half minutes into injury time when he embarked on a solo run before sending a left-foot shot past Kello to snatch the points for Rangers.
