Hearts have won five of their past seven Premiership visits to Dundee (L2), most recently a 6-0 win in February 2025, which was their biggest winning margin in the competition since January 2016, when they also beat Motherwell 6-0.

There haven't been many better players in the league this season than the man above.

These Cammy Devlin stats only back that up:

• The Hearts midfielder has made 92 tackles in the Premiership this season, at least 42 more than any other player.
• He has also recorded 51 interceptions, at least 14 more than anybody else.

The Australian starts again today, alongside Beni Baningime in the engine room.

Dundee manager Steven Pressley tells BBC Scotland: "The mood's obviously been very good. I've said to the players you must enjoy these periods, but equally, we can't take our eye off the ball."

On Yan Dhanda's absence: "It's a big blow. He's been a pivotal player for us in the past couple of months, but in his place comes Fin Robertson, who I've enjoyed working with. Every game he plays, he performs really well.

"Our home form has been reasonably good, but it's going to take a massive performance, one where we get most things right and carry an element of luck."

Dundee have won their past three league games, last winning four in a row in the top flight in May 1999 under Jocky Scott. Some stat, that.

We're just heard from the current Dundee boss. Let's see what he's had to say...

Martin O'Neill's Celtic cut Hearts' lead to just three points with their win yesterday, so the pressure is on Derek McInnes' men as they travel to Dens.

Steven Pressley's side are on a three-game winning run and can move themselves closer to the top half by extending that impressive form.

Martin O'Neill is back at Celtic (again) and suddenly everything feels... fine. Yeah, it's been a weird season.

As well as their 4-0 win against Dundee United, there was also a win for impressive Falkirk at St Mirren, who are in a right state.

Elsewhere, there were draws between European hopefuls Hibs and Motherwell and strugglers Livingston and Kilmarnock.

All the highlights are on the iPlayer.

Dundee have lost six of their past eight league meetings with Hearts (W2), most recently losing 4-0 in November.

It's also just one change for Dundee following their derby win at Tannadice last weekend.

Yan Dhanda is ineligible to play against his parent club and comes out for Fin Robertson.

Captain Simon Murray returns from suspension to take a place on the bench.

Hearts have made one change to the side that beat Livingston 1-0 last time out.

Injured Harry Milne misses out, so Jamie McCart comes into the backline.

New signing Islam Chesnokov could make his debut off the bench, while Pierre Landry Kabore is back from Afcon duty.

Stephen Kingsley is not involved after picking up a knock.
