'I expect Hearts to be third after first 10 games'
We asked for your views on Hearts' Scottish Premiership fixtures and how they will be faring after 10 what some of you said:Ronnie: Can't see us losing any of the first six games to be fair, think we can be good on the road this season and hopefully we take it to the Glasgow Looking at the opening 10 fixtures, there's no reason why Hearts shouldn't be within the top four with the recruitment over the summer they have done already. Looking at how the new manager is building a squad and creating a new feel around Tynecastle, I have no doubts this could be an interesting season for Hearts Expect Hearts to be at least third after 10 games. Much will depend on how the new arrivals settle in and who is left from the season past. Got to be picking up more wins at home, including against Celtic and Rangers. Pressure on the new manager and all the background facilities to start way better than last The fixture list is the fixture list, but why oh why can't we have a traditional start to the season and all games kick off at 15:00 on a Saturday? As a Jambo season ticket holder and living in Inverness, this Monday night nonsense is not the best start and sours it a bit for me, personally. As for Hearts' start to the season, it has to be better than the last one, and I'm sure it will be. I don't think Derek McInnes will muck about if players are not up to the mark from the start.

We asked for your views on Rangers' Scottish Premiership fixtures and how they will be faring after 10 what some of you said:Brian: This is the great unknown going into first 10 games under a new manager that most of us are unsure about - I am anxious and not overly confident. It could be exhilarating and the start of a new era of success or it could become toxic ending in a total meltdown. Loyalty to the club says sitting on top on maximum points with a goal difference that speaks volumes of a team totally dominating Scottish If the recruitment is right and Russell Martin instils a sense of belief and resolve into his team, then I fervently hope Rangers are on top after 10 games and creating headlines with scintillating football - the first Old Firm could be the acid test and a defining moment in Martin's stint as The manager's tactics and mentality will take up to the first 10 games for the team to be fully embracing the high press he wants, so for me if we are in second place but easily within touching distance of the league leaders I'll be happy. It's a long season with many twists and turns I think there is so much apprehension regarding the new management team and the squad, however I'm really excited about the league (not so much about the Euro tie), but following the opening 10 I anticipate a 100% return and being five points clear of Hibs in second...

We will be firmly in control and ready to make an impact on the big stage. Celtic will be a true force next It's key we get off to a good start, we face four of last season's top six in the first six games. Away to Rangers on 31 August (currently), that will be the big one considering our recent Old Firm record.
