The Ibrox males had been completely dominant on their residence turf and by no means regarded at risk regardless of the guests’ ever so slight resurgence early within the second half.
It noticed Danny Rohl’s males leap into second forward of Celtic, who failed to reply after they misplaced to Dundee United on Sunday. Hearts stay prime of the pile, three factors forward of Rangers.
Bookmakers are making the lads from the capital the favourites now, with Rangers simply behind and Celtic slipping to 3rd within the odds tables in addition to the true one.
But Thomson reckons his previous facet will come out on prime.
Asked why, he informed BBC Scotland: “Things change week to week and that’s why we like it a lot. You know, final week you Hearts dropping to Killie and each Celtic and Rangers profitable, and then you definitely get to this week.
“Now, I’m just going off what I’ve seen at Ibrox today; looked like a team that… that had a bit of swagger. The back line looked very aggressive. Tav [James Tavernier] clearly again in, Djiga, Fernandez… Rommens was completely terrific on the day. And then you definitely have a look at what he was bringing on off the bench: Gassama’s had a little bit little bit of stick from the followers however then he comes on and lights the place up.
“Antman got here on, I thought he regarded fairly sharp as nicely. Danny Rohl have to be having togetherness inside the squad, as a result of generally once you get not noted at an enormous membership and issues aren’t going notably nicely for you, you may generally sulk a wee bit and come on and did not fairly make the influence that you just most likely ought to have.
“And I just think because Heartshave been there for so long, I just think they now carry that Old Firm tag that everybody wants to beat them, and it’s going to be really interesting. But I just think Rangers might just edge it.”
