Hearts are unbeaten in 2025 and looking to keep it that away when they visit Dundee this afternoon.
The Jambos upturn in form has been welcome and moves them ever so slightly away from the bottom two. They’ll be dreaming of continuing to rise if they can keep it up.
They must though return to the ‘scene of the crime’ where the wheels started to come off for their season with a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Dee.
They’ve only just started to recover and move up the table back towards where they would expect to be.
Hearts duo Sander Kartum and Michael Steinwender are yet to debut but are working their way up to full fitness so it has not been clear if they are yet ready.
While Craig Halkett pulled up with an injury against Kilmarnock and is unavailable.
Dundee arrested their own poor form with draws against Celtic and Rangers and wins over St Johnstone and Dundee United.
The teams are now in for this one.
