The Tynecastle side had been in very strong form after the return of Scottish football following the World Cup in Qatar, but they were alarmingly poor in their last match out, a 2-0 defeat to Motherwell. The visitors were alarmingly poor as they were outplayed by a host club who had only just won their first game in weeks the match prior.
There have been criticisms of Robbie Neilson persisting with the three-at-the-back system as, even though results had been good, performances had been dropping in the build-up to the Motherwell loss.
Will he change the shape of his team for the visit of Callum Davidson’s side, or will he change multiple members of the starting XI to get the spark going ahead.
This is the team we believe the Hearts boss will go with...

The Motherwell defeat perhaps showed Stephen Humphrys is at his best coming off the bench, so expect Ginnelly to go right back into the starting XI upon his return from suspension. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
