Lawrence Shankland (Hamstring strain) and Cammy Devlin (Ankle injury) won’t be available for Hearts gaffer Derek McInnes.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Hearts should be able to score a couple when they face Aberdeen, who might well find it a difficult task getting on the scoresheet.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 2-0 win for Hearts at full-time.
