Josh Ginnelly returns to the squad for the first time since injuring his thigh against Arbroath in late October. His presence suggests he’ll be in contention to start in next week’s Scottish Cup final.

Elsewhere, Hearts make two changes with Liam Boyce and Aidy White replacing Andy Halliday and Craig Wighton. Here’s what the fans had to say:

@GlenCameron16: “GINO GINO GINO.”

@AidenReid1874: “Ginnelly for the final. Thank f***”.

@Jambolynn9: “Great to see Ginnelly back in the squad. Mon The Hearts!”

@MrCraigMcGill: “Irving starting again and Ginnelly back in the squad. Things you love to see.”

@MacNaBracha: “Is it actually illegal to play Haring and Irving at the same time?”

@grandpa_flump: “For games like this Irving playing as our deepest midfielder spraying passes is ideal. No need for Haring. Would like to see them both play next week but a different formation to accommodate Ginnelly hopefully.”
