Hearts plan to celebrate winning promotion back to the Scottish Premiership after their game with Queen of the South today and they will be looking to do it in style. The Gorgie side were crowned champions last weekend when rivals Hibs failed to beat Rangers at Easter Road. Manager Robbie Neilson will have a near full squad to choose from ahead of the Tynecastle party, with only striker Dale Carrick (hamstring) missing.
Queen of the South will be without the injured Paul Burns (hip) and Iain Russell (knee) as they look to keep hold of fourth spot. However, Ian McShane is expected to shake off a knock to play. Manager James Fowler said: "We were disappointing in midweek when we lost 3-0 to Raith Rovers in a game where we made uncharacteristic mistakes. Defeating Hearts would be a terrific way to bounce back but it will not be easy as they are worthy champions. We have competed well against them all season but it would be great to go that one stage further and take points home with us."
