Team News: No fresh injury concerns for Hearts

Hearts manager Gary Locke has no new injury concerns as the Jambos take on Aberdeen in this evening's Scottish Premiership clash at Tynecastle.

Victory for the Edinburgh-based side would stave off relegation, almost imminent, for another matchday.

Aberdeen's Peter Pawlett, previously out with a hip problem, is in the starting XI, while Andrew Considine is back from a ban and also starts for the Dons.

Winger Jonny Hayes, however, is still missing, while defender Clark Robertson is due to continue his rehabilitation from a knee injury in an Under-20s fixture.

Hearts: MacDonald, Paterson, McGowan, Wilson, McHattie, Smith, Hamill, Holt, Nicholson, McCallum, Stevenson Subs: Ridgers, McKay, McGhee, Robinson, King, Walker, Oliver

Aberdeen: Langfield, Logan, Considine, Flood, Anderson, Reynolds, Robson, Jack, McGinn, Pawlett, Rooney Subs: Shaughnessy, Vernon, Smith, Low, Weaver, McManus, Tate
