Rangers fans appear completely nonplussed by reports that Steven Naismith has a medical scheduled with Hearts after they pipped two SPL rivals to his signature.
Sky Sports News correspondent Keith Downie reported on his personal Twitter account on Wednesday afternoon that the Norwich striker will travel to Edinburgh on Thursday for a medical and to complete the paperwork of the transfer.
Hearts have pipped Rangers & Kilmarnock to the signing of Scotland international Steven Naismith. The striker will travel to Edinburgh for a medical and to complete the paperwork tomorrow.

Naismith joined Norwich from Everton for £9million in January 2016 but he has slipped down the pecking order at Carrow Road this season, making just three appearances in all competitions and has not played since August.
He is in line to make his Hearts debut in the Scottish Cup clash with Hibs on Sunday.
Shortly after, Jim White appeared to hint at further drama to the transfer, when he admitted that Hearts were the favourites to sign Naismith but that Rangers were keeping tabs on the situation.
Rangers fans aren’t buying it, with one fan claiming that White was doing it for retweets.
They pointed out that Naismith had offered to play for Rangers for free and that if there were any interest he would already be in Royal Blue.

Not all Rangers fans were disgusted by the idea of the move though, with one claiming it as a “no brainer” to have him back at Rangers.
Hearts have won a watch with naismith. Was an absolute no brainer to take him back at rangers
