Boyce back as Hearts take on Rangers in Scottish Cup quarter-final

Hearts striker Liam Boyce has recovered from illness and a back problem as he looks to repeat his recent match-winning performance against Rangers in the William Hill Scottish Cup quarter-final.

Toby Sibbick remains on the sidelines with illness.

Marcel Langer completes a two-game ban but Aidy White is available again, while Peter Haring (pelvic trouble) remains sidelined.

Florian Kamberi, on loan from Hibernian, is cup-tied but fellow striker Alfredo Morelos returns from suspension.

Hearts provisional squad: Zlamal, White, Hickey, Halkett, Smith, Dikamona, Souttar, Bozanic, Clare, Meshino, Ikpeazu, Boyce, Naismith, Walker, Irving, Moore, Avdijaj, Garuccio, Pereira.

Rangers provisional squad: McGregor, Tavernier, Barisic, Halliday, Edmundson, Goldson, Katic, Davis, Jack, Kamara, Arfield, Aribo, Hagi, Kent, Defoe, Ojo, Morelos, Stewart, Foderingham.
