This was meant to be a match between the two top sides in the second tier but there is currently an eight point difference between the teams with the Jam Tarts still with a game in hand.

The previous meeting between the two teams opened the season back in October with Robbie Neilson’s men running out 6-2 winners as they laid down a marker for the campaign ahead while gaining a modicum of revenge for what occurred during the summer with the farcical SPFL resolution vote.

Neilson’s starting XI will be interesting with Liam Boyce a doubt and another first-team star testing positive for Covid-19.
