St Mirren travel through to Scotland's capital to face Hearts for the third time in 2023.
The Buddies go into Saturday's match buoyed by a 3-0 win over Livingston at the SMiSA Stadium that saw Stephen Robinson's side move into fifth place in the cinch Premiership with three matches to go until the split.
Hearts suffered a third league defeat in a row at the weekend when Robbie Neilson's men were beaten 2-1 by Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. That came off the back of away defeats to Aberdeen (0-3) and Celtic (1-3). Despite that, Hearts still remain in third place in the cinch Premiership - a point above Aberdeen in fourth and four points ahead of Saints.

Previous
Saints faced Hearts twice in the space of six days in January - drawing 1-1 at the SMiSA Stadium before a narrow 1-0 defeat to the Jambos at Tynecastle.
Ryan Strain scored an early free-kick when Hearts visited the SMiSA Stadium, but despite numerous opportunities in the first-half, Saints couldn't find a second goal. Robert Snodgrass levelled for Hearts in the second-half to give Robbie Neilson's side a share of the spoils.
It was another case of what could have been when St Mirren travelled to Tynecastle the following week. Again, Saints created a host of chances, but Barrie McKay scored the game's only goal to give the Jambos all the points.
