After, once again, getting thumped by Rangers in mid-week, can Heart of Midlothian bounce back?
On Wednesday night, Hearts were swatted aside by the Light Blues, going down 3-0 at Tynecastle.
The Jambos have now lost seven successive meetings with Rangers, whilst also losing their last six against Celtic.
Nevertheless, against everybody else, Robbie Neilson’s side have been imperious, which is why they’re third, six points clear of fourth.
Out-with games against the Old Firm, Hearts are unbeaten in 12, dating back to 15 October, and are unbeaten in Gorgie in the Premiership since 9 February last year.
To summarise, a home win seems likely in this one.
Steven Fletcher saw a tame penalty saved at Rugby Park, with Killie scoring the only goal of the game mere moments later.
Liam Fox’s side have now taken just one point from their last four, only winning once on the road all season.
Back in August, Hearts hammered Dundee United 4-1 at Tynecastle, before the two played out an eventful 2-2 draw at Tannadice on Christmas Eve.
