Dunfermline v Hearts team news and how you'd like to see Robbie Neilson line up for Championship clash

After what seems like forever, it’s back to domestic action following the international break.

The weekend card kicks off with Friday night football from Fife as Hearts travel to Dunfermline looking to hit the top of the Championship with a win at East End Park.

Robbie Neilson will hopefully have just about a full squad to choose from as he goes head-to-head and former assistant Stevie Crawford.

The Tynecastle boss made a few changes to the team that won 3-2 at East Fife in the Betfred Cup last Tuesday.

Michael Smith, Liam Boyce and Craig Gordon were all unavailable due to being on international duty, but all are back in contention to face the Pars.

Jamie Walker and Josh Ginelly sat out after picking up knocks in the previous weeks so weren’t risked, with Neilson havning this week’s game in mind for their return.

The same applies to Jordan Roberts, who missed the wins over Inverness CT and East Fife.

Ginnelly won't make it, but the other two are fit and available.
