St Mirren v Hearts match preview

Bottom club Hearts are in desperate need of a win and they could get it against a shattered Saints side in Paisley.

The Tynecastle club have been forced to deny reports that the players are not buying into new manager Daniel Stendel's methods after a poor couple of weeks.

Hearts have regressed since beating Rangers but the players will surely be out to prove a point if they are really behind the German boss.

And they couldn't have picked a better time to face St Mirren, who played 120 minutes in a William Hill Scottish Cup tie at Motherwell on Tuesday, winning on penalties after blowing a 4-1 lead on an energy-sapping pitch.

Key stat

St Mirren have drawn five of their last six games.
