Hearts (H) – Team news

Neil McCann has made four changes to his Kilmarnock starting XI as George Stanger, Liam Polworth, Jamie Brandon and Aaron Tshibola all return to the side.

The changes come ahead of tonight’s Scottish Premiership clash against Heart of Midlothian at BBSP Stadium Rugby Park, as Killie look to bounce back from defeat last time out.

Lewis Mayo is back on the bench after a spell out through injury. The defence is anchored by skipper Robbie Deas alongside Michael Schjønning-Larsen with the returning Stanger and Brandon providing energy and flexibility. Kelle Roos remains between the sticks.

In midfield, Polworth and Tshibola add creativity and stability, while the attacking trio of Greg Kiltie, Findlay Curtis and Joe Hugill retain their places up front.

There are a number of attacking players waiting to make an impact if called upon, including Bruce Anderson and Marley Watkins.

Brad Lyons and Ethan Brown are absent from the matchday squad.
