Prediction: 1-2
Hearts
Ross County will be aiming to build on their morale-boosting 3-0 victory over Dundee as they host Hearts in this Premiership clash. The Staggies ended a four-game losing run with a dominant display, but their Boxing Day triumph came at a cost, with key players Grieves and Denholm picking up injuries. Their absence could leave manager Don Cowie with limited options, particularly in attack.
Hearts, on the other hand, are eager to bounce back from a disappointing 2-1 loss to Hibernian in the Edinburgh derby. The Jambos have shown glimpses of quality this season and will view this match as an opportunity to regain momentum. While midfielder Beni Baningime is rated doubtful, the visitors boast enough depth to cope with his potential absence. With Ross County’s squad stretched thin and Hearts keen to take advantage of their opponent's misfortune, an away win appears to be the most likely outcome.
