Hearts are now unbeaten in nine games with seven victories in that time, though they won’t be taking their visitors lightly. County held Robbie Neilson’s side to a 1-1 draw when they met at the start of the month and have plenty of motivation going into the game as they chase a European spot.
They will face a home team who’re not only in great form, but are always welcoming back a couple of players from injury. Andy Halliday and Stephen Kingsley are available for the weekend after recovering from a pair of knocks, while Michael Smith steps up his rehab following a back issue.
The game might come a little too early for Cammy Devlin who is being brought along slowly following a hamstring issue. He’ll likely take up residence on the bench. John Souttar isn’t far away from a return either.
