Hearts fans are enjoying a memorable season in the Scottish Premiership as they continue their push for European football.
The Edinburgh outfit boast a 100 percent winning record in the new year and will look to retain that strong form tonight as they make the trip to McDiarmid Park to take on strugglers St Johnstone.
Hearts are seven league places and 21 points ahead of their opponents heading into tonight’s game and inevitably enter the fixture as strong favourites with the bookmakers. Manager Steven Naismith has urged his team to remain focused on the task in hand as the Jam Tarts go toe to toe with their former boss Craig Levine.
