It’s top against bottom in the SPFL Premiership on Saturday, as Hearts look to get back to winning ways against Livingston.
With Celtic and Rangers playing against each other, the match allows Hearts to bridge the gap on at least one of their Glaswegian rivals, as they look to bounce back after the Derby defeat. Meanwhile, their opponents are struggling for form of late and have earned just one point from their last seven.
The last time the side’s met it was Derek McInnes’ men who came out on top at The Set Fare Arena, courtesy of late strike from Alexandros Kyziridis in what was his breakout performance. Hearts have a strong recent record against David Martindale’s side and will be hoping to keep that up on Saturday. From late drama to six goal thrillers, here’s a look at the last 12 matches between Hearts and Livingston through the medium of images:
