Hearts line up v Arbroath revealed as Robbie Neilson makes three changes from win over Ayr

Robbie Neilson has named his Hearts team to face Arbroath at Tynecastle this evening.

The Championship leaders can ensure they remain at the second tier's summit heading into 2021 with a win over Dick Campbell's side.

And Neilson has made three changes to the side that won an eight-goal thriller against Ayr United on Boxing Day with a return to the starting XI for Austrian midfielder Peter Haring.

Steven Naismith and in-form Craig Wighton are also restored to the line up after the striker went level with Liam Boyce at the top of the scoring charts with seven strikes so far this season following his brace against the Honest Men.

There is no place for Stephen Kingsley however as the full back misses out with a stomach issue, while Elliott Frear and josh Roberts drop to the bench.

Defender Aidy White and winger Josh Ginnelly are left out of the squad altogether

Hearts XI: Gordon, Smith, Haring, Berra, Lee, Boyce, Naismith, Wighton, Halliday, Irving, Halkett

Subs: Stewart, Walker, Roberts, Frear, Brandon, Popescu, Henderson.
