Two teams desperately in need of a win meet in the Premiership on Sunday afternoon as Kilmarnock and Hearts aim to move away from danger.

Just one point separates the Ayrshire and Edinburgh sides and a win for either, depending on other results, could see them reach 8th spot.

Kilmarnock are on a dreadful run of form and are struggling at both ends of the pitch. Only Ross County have scored fewer goals while Killie have shipped the most in the top-flight.

Hearts earned a much-needed three points against Dundee last weekend, but will have to go again after playing European football on Thursday night against Copenhagen.
