Hearts team revealed as Robbie Neilson makes two changes for Queen of the South clash

Robbie Neilson has named his Hearts team for this afternoon's game.

The Tynecastle boss has made two changes to the team that beat Greenock Morton last week as he hunts for another three points at home to Queen of the South and stay top of the Championship.

Aidy White returns to the starting line up and he’ll play wide left ahead of Stephen Kingsley, who’s at left back. Andy Halliday is the player to drop out for the Irishman.

The other change sees Liam Boyce back in after missing out at Cappielow.

The Northern Ireland international was on the bench last weekend due to having a tight hamstring after Neilson revealed he hadn’t trained in the two days leading up to the game.

He had planned to bring him on but decided not to take the risk with the game already won.

Boyce is fully fit now though and comes in from Craig Wighton.

Andt Irving keeps his spot after an impressive display in the middle of the park, where his range of passing gave Hearts an extra dimension.

Two-goal hero Jamie Waker unsurprisingly starts, except he’ll switch to the right hand side for this game.

There’s also a return to the squad for Josh Ginnelly, who takes his place on the bench after recovering from a thigh injury.

Hearts: Craig Gordon, Michael Smith, Christophe Berra, Craig Halkett, Stephen Kingsley, Andy Irving, Olly Lee, Aidy White, Steven Naismith, Jamie Walker, Liam Boyce.

Subs: Ross Sewart, Peter Haring, Craig Wighton, Andy Halliday, Elliott Frear, Mihai Poopescu, Josh Ginnelly.

QOTS: Jack Leighfield, Nortei Nortey, James Maxwell, Gregor Buchanan, Ayo Obileye, Aidan Fitzpatrick, Daniel Pybus, Connor Shields, Stephen Dobbie, Rhys McCabe, Willie Gibson.

Subs: Rohan Ferguson, Thomas Goss, Calvin McGrory, Euan East, Niyah Joseph, Kieran McKechnie, Dom McMahon.
