    The travelling Hearts fans haven’t had much to cheer so far in this second season.

    Aside from a small cluster sitting right in the middle of the away support, who’re religiously banging a drum and chanting away, the rest are fairly silent.

    I wonder if they might make their feelings clear at the end of this one if it stays the same scoreline.

    Dundee's chances of a cup shock would also be greater tonight if their nine-game unbeaten start to the season had not been ended last weekend as Rangers got back to winning ways after their own Old Firm reality check.

    The Dark Blues' 2-0 defeat by Ross County in Dingwall means they have now gone three games without a victory, while the Light Blues recovered from their derby loss to Celtic by beating Dundee United 1-0 to secure their first away win.

    It kept Rangers five points behind early Premiership leaders Celtic and Aberdeen and, just as importantly, eased some of the tension around the club after John Bennett's announcement that he was standing down as chairman citing health problems exacerbated by fan criticism.

    Even playing at Hampden, Philippe Clement's side have won all three of their domestic home games, their only reverse coming against Dynamo Kyiv in Champions League qualifying.

    History is also heavily on their side, with Dundee having to go back to October 1951 for a League Cup win over Rangers - 3-2 in the final.

    A Steven Davis goal was enough for the Glasgow side to win their last League Cup meeting two years ago at Ibrox.

    And, overall, Rangers are 13 unbeaten against Dundee since losing at Dens Park in November 2017 and have won 17 in a row at Ibrox since goals from Claudio Caniggia and Steven Milne secured the Dark Blues their last win there in March 2001.

    Ross County 1-2 St Johnstone

    A reminder of this stat: St Johnstone have failed to win any of their last 37 matches when conceding first in the Premiership, since a victory over - guess who? - Ross County back in December 2022.

    Quite incredible if that run ends today against the same opposition.

    The Hearts fans can barely watch as their team concede another corner.

    Alex Gogic gets the run on his man at the near post but his firm header whizzes well wide.

    Ronan Hale screams for a penalty as he's tackled by Jack Sanders in the St Johnstone box but the referee gives the free-kick the other way.

    Ross County have a promising free-kick of their own.

    Noah Chilvers tries to find a dark blue shirt in the box but it was comfortably headed away.

    Nicky Clark

    Makenzie Kirk is taken out by two dark blue shirts just outside the County box as Akil Wright and Kacper Lopata slide in on the striker, the latter is shown a yellow card for his trouble.

    Nicky Clark steps up to take and bends it beyond Ross Laidlaw!

    Toyosi Olusanya slashes a shot wide from close in and Hearts breathe again.

    Suggestion of a handball from Kenneth Vargas in there but VAR is not interested. Hearts breathe again - again!

    A third converted on the rebound surely has Rovers on their way to a much-needed win.

    St Mirren 2-1 Hearts

    Lawrence Shankland is still awaiting his first goal this season.

    He hasn't been too involved today either, registering just seven touches.

    Ross County 1-1 St Johnstone

    Almost the perfect first touch from Makenzie Kirk as he gets on the end of a loose ball.

    He tries to find a St Johnstone team-mate at the back post but Connor Randall slides in to send the ball back to his goalkeeper.

    Up the other end, he sends a bouncing effort goalwards but doesn't trouble Ross Sinclair.
