A £5million match awaits us. That's what some are dubbing the highly-anticipated Scottish Premiership showdown between Hearts and Aberdeen this weekend.
The Dons have been in resurgent form since Barry Robson replaced Jim Goodwin back in January. They now have a firm grip on third place, with a five point cushion over the Edinburgh club. However the last time the pair faced off in the capital, Hearts ran riot with a 5-0 win which was the start of a dismal week for Aberdeen.
Robson denied that the pressure was all on the hosts as his side look for an improved performance to secure European football. But he might have to do it without star striker Luis ‘Duk’ Lopes and Ross McCrorie, who are injury doubts. While captain Graeme Shinnie will serve the final match of his four game ban. For Hearts, it’s a must not lose match with Hibernian just a point behind in the league table with just three games remaining.
The stakes are high in Gorgie. Here is everything you need to know.
