Rangers scored a stoppage-time equaliser through Olwethu Makhanya to draw 2-2 at Hearts in Derek McInnes' first match back at Tynecastle since leaving for Ibrox.
Rangers drew 2-2 at Hearts in Derek McInnes' first match back at Tynecastle since leaving the Edinburgh club for Ibrox in June. McInnes was loudly booed by the home support as he emerged from the tunnel.
Kevin Kelsy put Rangers ahead in the 16th minute following a lapse from Hearts defender Laurent Mendy. The hosts emerged with renewed impetus after the break and equalised three minutes into the second half when Claudio Braga forced the ball over the line from close range. Hearts then went ahead in the 57th minute when Braga's angled shot broke off Manny Fernandez into the path of Calvin Miller, who drilled home from seven yards.
Rangers pulled level in stoppage time when Olwethu Makhanya headed home from a free-kick delivered from the left. Hearts remain unbeaten in 26 league games at home. Rangers stay four points behind Celtic, who also drew on the day, and four points above Hearts.
