Hearts v St Johnstone Live

Kevin Kyle remains Hearts' biggest injury concern ahead of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with St Johnstone. Striker Kyle has missed the last three matches with a groin problem and is doubtful alongside Calum Elliot, Darren Barr and Jason Thomson. Rudi Skacel, who has been struggling with a calf problem, came off at half-time in the 4-0 loss at Celtic on Wednesday, but Andrew Driver (thigh) is the only definite absentee. Gary Glen maintains Hearts remain in the hunt at the top despite the midweek rout. Hearts defeated Rangers last Saturday to extend their unbeaten run to 11 matches, but no sooner had their title aspirations been boosted than they were trounced at Parkhead by the leaders. But the 20-year-old striker said: "We're not out of it now, we're going to keep doing our best and we need to get results. "We've got a big game on Saturday and we're looking forward to that - we need to get a result there. "We've got the fight; we believe in ourselves." Danny Grainger is out for St Johnstone due to suspension so Alan Maybury is poised to return. Jamie Adams is available after overcoming injury and illness.
