ST Johnstone – Heart Of Midlothian

St Johnstone host a struggling Heart of Midlothian at McDiarmid Park, hoping to turn their season around after three defeats in six games. Sitting seventh with seven points from two wins and a draw, the Saints have scored eight but conceded nine, a goal difference that reflects their inconsistency. Hearts, languishing at the foot of the table in 95th place with just two points from two goalless draws, will be desperate to pick up their first win and break a run of zero victories. Both sides will be keen to improve their positions, making what looks like a modest clash a crucial battle for survival and ambition alike.
