Hearts vs Aberdeen LIVE as Braga scores after brilliant play from Kabore

The message to the Hearts players will be simple: the same as last week lads.

Derek McInnes ' men piled the pressure on Celtic and Rangers by beating Falkirk, then sat back and watched as both of their title rivals managed to slip up against Hibs and Livingston respectively.

Now, the task is to find a way to beat Aberdeen before sitting down to watch the carnage unfold at Ibrox, knowing at least one of the chasing pair will drop more points.

They need to focus on their own business first, though, and McInnes' injury list has only been growing.

Eduardo Ageu is out for the rest of the season with a thigh injury, while defender Stuart Findlay will miss the next six weeks with a hamstring issue.

The capital club haven't used that excuse all season though and aren't about to start now.

There's also the away day curse of this fixture, which has seen the Dons fail to win in Gorgie since 2017.

Hearts: Schwolow, Steinwender, Halkett, McCart, Milne, Leonard, Magnusson, Spittal, Kyziridis, Kabore, Braga.

Subs: Fulton, Kent, Baningime, Kabangu, Forrest, Altena, Kerjota, Mato, Chesnokov.

Aberdeen: Mitov, Devlin, Milne, Morrison, Molloy, Shinnie, Geiger, Cameron, Olusanya, Keskinen, Nisbet

Subs: Vitols, Frame, Heltne, Nilsen, Biglovic, Armstrong, Palaversa, Lazetic, Aremu, Lobban.

If that's a good omen, McInnes will take it against his former club this afternoon.
