Team News
Hearts
St. Mirren
- Liam Fox named six changes from Hearts claiming their first victory of the season in Azerbaijan as they beat Belarusian champions Dinamo Minsk 2-1, before his spell as interim manager came to an end after a 3-2 defeat away to Aberdeen.
- Daniel Oyegoke replaced Adam Forrester at right-back, with Frankie Kent and Kye Rowles continuing at centre-back, as Stephen Kingsley took James Penrice's place at left-back. Cammy Devlin and Beni Baningime dropped out of midfield.
- Malachi Boateng and Jorge Grant, who was sent off against the Dons, came into the middle of the park. Barrie McKay and Alan Forrest made way for Yan Dhanda and Kenneth Vargas to support lone striker Lawrence Shankland at Pittodrie.
- St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson made three changes after the Buddies lost 2-1 away to Motherwell at Fir Park, before a sole goal was enough for Dundee United to leave Paisley with three points before the international break.
- Scott Tanser was suspended and Elvis Bwomono dropped out, as Saints shifted to a back four of Richard Taylor, the incoming Charles Dunne, Alex Gogic and Marcus Fraser.
- Roland Idowu joined Killian Phillips, Caolan Boyd-Munce and club captain Mark O'Hara in midfield. Kevin van Veen joined Toyosi Olusanya up front, in place of Mikael Mandron.
