Two changes have been made from the side which defeated Arbroath 1-0 last Friday evening to make it two wins from two in the Championship. Jordan Roberts and Craig Wighton come in for Elliot Frear and Josh Ginnelly who hasn’t made it due to injury.

@harrysteel51: “Release the real team now.”

@AlanBomford: “Very happy with that. No excuses.”

@AaronFraser37: “We are all Craig Wighton.”

@LiamGMck: “This is team is MORE THAN good enough to win today. Lets do this.”

@McIverTheMark: “No Ginnelly confirmed. However, both Boyce and Wighton starting. Seems to be a 4-4-2 with Walker out on the right and Roberts on the left? C'mon Hearts.”

@KyleTait51: “Halliday raker incoming.”

@ThisMyStoryPod: “As predicted, a Robbie special. 442 to match Hibs. Here’s hoping it pays off.”

@theitalianjambo: “No sign of @JoshGinnelly7. But I agree with Robbie, no point in risking him in November when we have a long season ahead!

A line-up without some big names... few of 'em are sitting on the bench, though Let's hope Robbie's right! Get into them lads!”

@OnsideOlly: “We will do well to win with this XI.”

@JamboGilly: “Shame Ginnelly is missing out due to injury. Time for this team to write themselves into history by handing out another Hampden Humiliation to Hibs.”

@CornerRadish: “Wighton and Boyce together....Could be interesting.”

@MrATrialist: “Shame Ginnelly misses out and not sure on the Halliday/Lee partnership but I hope they prove me wrong. Come on the Hearts!”

@WeAreScottishFB: “That's the squad let's just do this come on the JTs.”
