Hearts team news v Dunfermline revealed as Robbie Neilson restores internationals

There's a stronger look to this afternoon's Hearts team after the return of two of their main men.

Robbie Neilson 's team are two wins from clinching the Championship title and can secure it at Tynecastle in six days time if they take all three points at Dunfermline this afternoon.

Craig Gordon and Michael Smith are back from international duty and the 'keeper takes his place between the stricks after missing the last two games.

Smith doesn't slot back into his usual right back role, however. He's been moved inside one to centre back while Shay Logan makes his Hearts debut on the right hand side of the defence.

Captain Steven Naismith is also back from a calf injury he suffered at Inverness and has forced him to sit out the last five matches.

Hearts: Gordon, S Logan, Smith, Halkett, White, Haring, Boyce, Mackay-Steven, McEneff, Irving, Henderson

Subs: Stewart, Souttar, Walker, Gnanduillet, Naismith, Popescu, McGill
