Hearts visit Alloa Athletic for the second time this season as they look to, at least, maintain their five-point lead at the top of the Championship table.

Friday night saw second-place Dunfermline Athletic drop points at Greenock Morton in what was a pretty turgid encounter at Cappielow which finshed 0-0. Meanwhile Dundee’s clash with Ayr Unitd has passed a pitch inspection this morning.

But it is all about what happens at the Indodrill Stadium for the league leaders. Robbie Neilson’s takes his men to the team second bottom of the league, looking to bounce back from that Dens Park defeat. Due to postponements, that was the last game Hearts played.

Today could see new signing Gary Mackay-Steven make his debut, most likely from the bench. Yesterday brought about news that Olly Lee had left the club to join Gillingham.

We will have all the latest from Alloa with updates, reaction and analysis.
