Hearts vs Dundee latest news with four doubts and four confirmed out

Latest injury news as Hearts start welcoming back injury concerns

Hearts will return to Scottish Premiership action this week following a 2-1 win over Edinburgh rivals Spartans in the Scottish Cup fourth round.

The fixture was Craig Gordon's first start for over a year after the goalkeeper suffered a double leg break before Christmas in 2022. He is now firmly back in the fold with the fight for the number one spot on after Zander Clark's break-out year.
