Robbie Neilson’s men left it late last Friday night to salvage a point at Palmerston Park against Queen of the South after a somewhat disappointing performance, Liam Boyce netting from the spot.

This season Hearts have bounced back from dropping points or a defeat cup competitions by following it up with a win.

The team hold a 13-point lead at the top of the Championship and after this afternoon’s match they will have just ten games remaining in what is a truncated campaign with only 27 league fixtures.

Greenock Morton come to Tynecastle for a competitive fixture for the first time since March 1988 when Mike Galloway scored a double in a 2-0 win in what was then the Premier Division.

The Ton sit seventh in the league and come into the fixture on a seven-game winless run, their last victory coming back in December.

The previous meeting between the sides ended in a 2-0 win for Hearts with Jamie Walker netting a double.

We will have all the action, reaction and analysis from Tynecastle Park throughout the afternoon.
