The result means Robbie Neilson’s side finish the campaign 12 points ahead of the nearest challengers, who happened to be Dundee as the Dens Park side took full advantage of the result in Kirkcaldy to pip Raith into second place.

Team news delay

Ok, so we initially said that we’d have the team news at 6.30pm. That’s typically because Hearts tweet out their team one hour and 15 minutes before kick-off, but, of course, with the club following the social-media blackout in protest of player abuse there is no such tweet. We’ll get you the team as soon as we have it.
