After the heartache of last weekend's Scottish Cup final, it's a slightly different Hearts team this afternoon.
Robbie Neilson has made three changes to the team that went so close at Hampden as he seeks three more Championship points against Ayr United at Tynecastle.
This comes after the news that an unnamed player has tested positive for Covid so will miss today's game, Tuesday's meeting with Arbroath and the trip to Dundee on 2 January.
Olly Lee, Elliott Frear and Jordan Roberts are handed starts after being on the bench last week.
They replace Jamie Walker, Steven Naismith and Aidy White.
The latter drops out of the squad completely, as does winger Josh Ginnelly.
Hearts: Gordon, Smith, Halkett, Berra, Kingsley, Halliday, Irving, Lee, Frear, Roberts, Boyce.
Subs: Stewart, Haring, Walker, Naismith, Wighton, Popescu, Henderson.
