Hearts head coach Wouter Vrancken makes two changes from Thursday's Conference League defeat by Thun.
Pierre Landry Kabore had reportedly been recently told he had to up his game if he was to be involved more but has been rewarded for a lively performance as a substitute in Switzerland with his first start since August.
That could have as much to do with that lengthy injury list to which Stephen Kingsley is 11th first-team player to be added.
The veteran defender drops out, with Sabri Guendouz dropping to the bench and being replaced in midfielder with Yan Dhanda, who makes just his second Premiership start this term.
