How to watch Ross County v Hearts live

Hearts begin life after Neil Critchley when they travel to Ross County in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

The Englishman was sacked from his position as head coach following the 1-0 home defeat to Dundee last weekend, which followed on from the Scottish Cup final loss to Aberdeen and failure to secure a top six place.

Liam Fox has been appointed interim head coach and will hope to steer the Tynecastle side to their first victory in six matches as they look to all but secure their Premiership status with three matches remaining.

Hearts sit just five points ahead of second bottom County, who currently occupy the relegation play-off position. Defeat in Dingwall would leave the Jambos in a precarious position amid the spectre of a possible play-off against a Championship side to avoid relegation to the second tier.

County are in the midst of their own slum with five consecutive defeats leaving them vulnerable to the drop although they still have a six point advantage over last placed St Johnstone in the bid to avoid automatic relegation.
