Predicted Hearts team to face Airdrie with changes to come for the Scottish Cup tie

The Tynecastle club intend to field a strong side in North Lanarkshire

BBC Scotland will broadcast Airdrie v Hearts in the Scottish Cup fifth round on Sunday evening. The visitors could recall goalkeeper Craig Gordon to their starting line-up after fielding him against Spartans in the previous round.

Here is the predicted Hearts team for the match at the Excelsior Stadium:
