The league winners will lift the Championship trophy after the match following much speculation as to whether it would be left on the stand, as per the desire of many fans, or be hoisted into the air by captain Steven Naismith. Hearts confirmed it will be the latter.

Robbie Neilson’s men will be looking to bounce back from the midweek draw with Greenock Morton by putting on a positive display against a team still fighting for promotion.

The Highlanders, under the interim charge of Neil McCann, are just behind Dunfermline Athletic who occupy the third and final play-off spot. ICT have been on a fine run of late and possess Hibs star Scott Allan on loan.

We will have updates throughout the day from Tynecastle, including analysis and reaction following the game.
