Third-placed Hearts will look to stretch their unbeaten run when they host a Jags side that were knocked out of the Scottish FA Cup at Dundee United last weekend.

SPL leaders Celtic will look to stretch pole position when they host a fourth-placed St. Johnstone side that have gone four games without a win.
