Heart of Midlothian and Rangers opened the Scottish Premiership season with a draw that suggests last season's runners-up remain a work in progress after a summer of turmoil for the visitors.
Home head coach Steven Naismith had to be content with a 12th home game without a loss, but it is opposite number Philippe Clement who might be the happier to settle for a point that extends Rangers' unbeaten run against Hearts to 16 meetings. Within two minutes, Lawrence Shankland, the striker who has been linked with Rangers for months, stung the palms of Jack Butland.
Dessers sent a head off the bar then post from close range after the break then Clark did well to turn a thunderous Tom Lawrence volley over the crossbar. Hearts have won on MD1 in each of the last three Scottish Premiership seasons, last failing to win their league opener in the top-flight in 2019-20, when they were ultimately relegated .
