Hamilton Accies boss John Rankin tells BBC Scotland: "We're looking forward to tonight. There's no expectations on us, it's all on Hearts. There's no pressure on us.

"There's an excitement about the place. The most important thing is the players enjoy themselves. Tonight I can see they're relaxed."

Hearts boss Robbie Neilson tells BBC Scotland: "It's a huge one for us, we're bringing 3,500 fans here.

"The fans have been outstanding. It's a great night for them. It's up to us now to put a performance on.

"When you play for Hearts, you're expected to win every game. We've prepared as we always do. We're the favourites. It's up to us to take the game to Hamilton."

Hearts make three changes to the side which started the 3-1 win against Dundee United last week.

Captain and top scorer Lawrence Shankland is suspended after his red card against Hibs in the last round, so Stephen Humphrys gets a start up front after his 60-yard screamer last week.

Michael Smith and Jorge Grant also come into the XI, with Alan Forrest and Andy Halliday dropping to the bench.

Robert Snodgrass takes the armband in Shankland's absence.
