Hearts vs Dundee injury news: 8 out as Derek McInnes eyes return for key duo but is left sweating on others

Hearts will aim to return to winning ways as they welcome Dundee in the Scottish Premiership at Tynecastle on Saturday (kick-off: 3pm).

Derek McInnes’ side had their lead at the top of the table cut to just two points after their 1-0 defeat against relegation-threatened Kilmarnock last weekend, and know a failure to win this weekend could see them lose their place at the summit for the first time since September.

As for their visitors Dundee, Steven Pressley’s side enter the game on the back of a dramatic 2-2 draw against rivals Dundee United, where they scored two injury-time goals to rescue a point and extend their unbeaten run to five games.
