Hearts vs Ross County previous meetings this season

This will be the third and final meeting of the two clubs this season with Ross County guaranteed a bottom half finish Hearts all but guaranteed a top half finish due to Livingston’s -17 goal difference compared to their +2 meaning the seventh placed Lions could only overtake them 19 goal swing. The previous two matches this season between the Jambos and the Staggies both went the way of the Edinburgh side.

Their October clash in the Highlands saw Jordan White give the hosts an early lead but Lawrence Shankland and Andy Halliday quickly turned the game on its head for the visitors to lead 2-1, a result which they saw out till the end to pick up the three points. The previous game at Tynecastle in July also ended 2-1 to Hearts with Alan Forrest breaking the deadlock just before the hour mark and Barrie McKay doubling the hosts advantage before Jordan White pulled one back to make the final ten minutes a tense affair.
