LAST TIME OUT: SAINTS
We are looking to bounce back from a 3-1 William Hill Premiership defeat against St Mirren in Paisley on Wednesday night.
Benji Kimpioka had continued his fine form by netting the opener within the first 10 minutes and he thought he had then doubled the advantage, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside following a VAR check.
St Mirren levelled on the half hour mark through Scott Tanser before we had another goal disallowed. This time Adama Sidibeh’s delightful, chipped effort did not count due to a foul in the build-up.
Mark O’Hara put The Buddies ahead in the second half and then Jonah Ayunga wrapped up the win with a breakaway goal in stoppage time.
LAST TIME OUT: HEARTS
Hearts head for McDiarmid Park off the back of a 2-1 home defeat against Kilmarnock on Wednesday evening.
The Jambos were ahead in the 44th minute thanks to Alan Forrest’s finish and well worth their lead at the interval.
But Killie hit back after the break with Matty Kennedy levelling the match before Kyle Vassell’s shot on the swivel secured maximum points.
