Hearts will be looking to answer critics with the trip to Cappielow to face Greenock Morton.

Last weekend’s 1-0 loss to Alloa Athletic in the Betfred Cup was the team’s second defeat in three games – the other a 2-1 reverse at East End Park to Dunfermline Athletic. These games have prompted questions about Robbie Neilson’s side.

In Greenock Morton, they will face obdurate opposition under David Hopkin. There is every chance they will come up against a team who will sit deep and compact in a 5-4-1 system and will look to frustrate, leaving little space in behind.
