Hearts are still searching for their first win of the 2024/25 Scottish Premiership season and they’ll be hoping for a positive start to Neil Critchley’s time in charge. The former Blackpool and QPR manager was brought to the club earlier this week as Steven Naismith’s permanent replacement.
The Jambos have earned just two points from two draws so far this season and will be desperate to secure a positive result against St Mirren, after suffering a 3-2 defeat to Aberdeen before the international break. Hearts are bottom of the Premiership table but just three behind rivals Hibs.
