After Craig Levein admitted he’s likely to use fringe players for Hearts’ remaining two league fixtures, it could be an unfamiliar looking side that plays this weekend.
The Jambos head to Pittodrie on Friday night for their penultimate league game of the season to face Aberdeen – the only side they’ve beaten in their last seven league matches.
Levein has admitted focus has now shifted to the cup final as a priority, so some players are certain to be rested until 25 May.

Uche Ikpeazu had to come off in the defeat to Kilmarnock with a hamstring issue so definitely won’t be risked. The Tynecastle boss also said Peter Haring isn’t likely to be seen to make sure he’s ready to face Celtic at Hampden.
Captain Christophe Berra may be given a well earned rest, while Colin Doyle could earn a recall between the sticks for the first time since his stoppage time howler away to Motherwell.
