Last Meeting
Dundee moved off the bottom of the Premiership by beating Hearts 2-1 at Tynecastle with a fantastic, fighting performance that thrilled the travelling support. Genseric Kusunga put the Dark Blues ahead midway through the first half only for Olly Lee to score a freakish equaliser shortly before half time. Andrew Nelson grabbed a well deserved winner just after the hour and Hearts couldn’t find any way back into the game as Dundee defended superbly.

Heart of Midlothian’s Season So Far
Hearts had a fantastic start to the season and came to the Kilmac Stadium in October at the top of the Ladbrokes Premiership.
They also reached the Betfred Cup semi-final and started their season by topping their League Cup section thanks to an opening day win at Cove Rangers, a penalty shoot out bonus point win over Raith Rovers and two 5-0 victories over Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Craig Levein’s old side Cowdenbeath.
In the knock out stages Hearts defeated Dundee’s section winners Dunfermline 1-0 at East End Park and then Motherwell 4-2 at home in the quarter-final before losing 3-0 to Celtic in the semis at Murrayfield.
By then they had already beaten Celtic 1-0 in the Premiership on matchday 2, a week after a 4-1 win over Hamilton at Hope CBD Stadium and followed them up with wins over Killie, St Mirren, Motherwell and St Johnstone as well as a draw with Livingston.
Their only defeat before the international break came at Ibrox but they bounced back with an excellent 2-1 win over Aberdeen at Tynecastle and then a 3-0 win over Dundee at Dens.
After the League Cup semi Hearts drew 0-0 with rivals Hibs but their title credentials were then dealt a blow with a 5-0 defeat at Celtic Park. This was then followed by three straight defeats to Killie, St Mirren and Rangers and it was obvious they were missing talisman Steven Naismith who was injured in the League Cup semi.
After a draw with St Johnstone and a win at home to Motherwell The Jambos reached a nadir in the next game with a 5-0 loss to Livingston at Almondvale before slipping to 2-0 home loss to a resurgent Aberdeen.
In the last two games before the winter break Hearts recovered with wins over Hamilton and Hibs and in the first game got revenge over Livi by knocking them out of the Scottish Cup with a 1-0 win.
However their first league game back saw the Dark Blues leave Tynecastle with all three points after a 2-1 win but bounced back with wins over St Johnstone and Killie in the next two games.
Since then Hearts have gone four league games without a win with draws against Livi and St Mirren and defeats to Motherwell and Celtic.
In the Scottish Cup the Jambos reached the quarter-finals with a 4-0 win over Junior side Auchinleck Talbot.
