Hearts team news v Alloa revealed as John Souttar makes shock start

The Hearts team to face Alloa tonight has been confirmed.

A win could see Robbie Neilson 's men seal the Championship title tomorrow should Dundee and Raith Rovers both fail to win their games.

The Jambos have to do their bit first though, and haven't won in their last four matches.

In order to get the three points, Robbie Neilson has made three changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Dunfermline last Saturday.

John Souttar is back in the starting line up for the first time in over a year. He slots into central defence while Michael Smith moves to left back in place of Aidy White.

Andy Halliday returns to the team as Andy Irving drops to the bench and Armand Gnanduillet partners Liam Boyce up front, replacing Gary Mackay-Steven.

Hearts: Gordon, S Logan, Smith, Halkett, Smith, Haring, Halliday, McEneff, Henderson, Boyce Gnanduillet.

Subs: Stewart, Walker, Naismith, Mackay-Steven, Irving, Frear, Popescu.
