Cowdenbeath 0 - 1 Hearts RECAP: Craig Halkett's goal the difference in poor performance, Jamie Walker misses penalty

Hearts make the trip to Fife for the latest Betfred Cup group stage encounter with Cowdenbeath.

It is the third season in a row the club travel to Methil and New Bayview with the game having been moved from Central Park after the ground suffered flooding from heavy rain. Both previous trips ended in draws with Raith Rovers and East Fife, resulting in penalty shootouts for the bonus point.

The fixture is the second in a hectic four-match schedule. Three days following the win over Inverness CT they look to record their second Betfred Cup success and are back in action again on Tuesday then Friday when the league campaign gets underway.

Robbie Neilson confirmed he would make some alterations to the team which defeated Inverness on Tuesday.

We will have all the action, reaction and analysis throughout the afternoon from New Bayview.
