How to watch Hearts vs St Mirren amid TV blackout as Jambos activate pay per view option

Hearts are looking to gain ground on title rivals this week when they take on St Mirren in the Premiership.

It’s Scottish Cup fourth round weekend on the horizon for most but Derek McInnes’ league leaders are playing catch up in the top flight against an injury-hit Buddies side.

What has Derek McInnes said ahead of Hearts vs St Mirren?

Speaking after the win at Dundee, McInnes said: “For me, that feels like the best three points of the season. We’ve had lots of highs, but I think a lot of people would have been questioning us at half-time, thinking this might be where Hearts run out of steam. We had to do so much right. By and large we defended well, made them go round us time and time again, and had excellent penalty-box defenders.”

“I thought Craig Halkett, Frankie Kent, Stuart Findlay, Michael Steinwender and McCart were magnificent, and the energy everyone else put in was first-class. We were down to 10 men on a heavy pitch, everyone had to do one-and-a-half jobs.

“We spoke about that at half-time and everyone did it to the letter. We got our reward. Braga’s goal felt like an eternity ago, but Claudio Braga’s goal gave us something to hang on to. I don’t think anyone could deny us the win, and the big moment was Craig Gordon’s save. Everyone played their part and more. It was a heavy pitch, but the lads should be feeling top of the world. I couldn’t be more proud of them.”
