St Johnstone v Hearts: Kick-off time, TV and live stream information

Hearts will hope to return to winning ways and continue their push for a European place when they travel to St Johnstone on Sunday lunchtime.

After seeing off St Mirren in a penalty shoot-out to progress into the quarter-final of the Scottish Cup and set up a last-eight clash with Dundee, Neil Critchley’s side fell to a 3-1 home defeat against Rangers on their return to Premiership action last weekend. Despite that loss, there were a number of positives for Hearts to take from the game and they will hope to regain some momentum with a win at McDiarmid Park this weekend.

Depending on results elsewhere, Critchley’s men could actually move to within four points of the European places as they continue to move on from what was a difficult start to the season. For their hosts, the aim for the remainder of the campaign is clear as they continue to battle to avoid relegation into the Championship. St Johnstone are currently anchored to the bottom of the Premiership table after winning just six of their 26 league games - but there have been signs of life after Simo Valakari’s side claimed narrow victories against St Mirren and Motherwell earlier this month.
