During the international break, both teams and their Premiership opponents will take a break. Following the interval, Hearts will play St Johnstone and Hibs will play Dundee. We have compiled the most recent information and transfer speculations pertaining to both teams in the meantime.
Former Hearts star Neil McCann has questioned the penalty awarded to Hearts during their win over Motherwell. Liam Boyce went down to a high foot in the box, and the decision was initially played down, but VAR intervened.
He told the BBC: “I have to agree. On field David Munro decides there’s no contact, he’s then directed to VAR which he goes and sees and decides there’s not enough contact. But I’m sorry, I think there’s enough contact if you’re kicked in the chest, whether it’s a little bit or a big bit.”
Miller on clean sheets
Lewis Miller, a standout for Hibs, expressed satisfaction with his team’s clean sheet against a “direct” Kilmarnock team. “We knew Kilmarnock would be very direct, they have a lot of big boys, and they would be dangerous from set-pieces,” the player stated on the team website. We were strong enough to keep them off, and they also had a lot of quality on their side. We grabbed our chance when it presented itself and I felt like we defended quite effectively.
“It was crucial to maintain a clean sheet because we have given up a few goals in the last few games.” After the international break, we need to maintain that momentum.”
