Win and hope.<\/p>\n
That’s the situation at Tynecastle tonight if a 66-year wait is to end.<\/p>\n
Hearts<\/a> lead Celtic by a point with two games left having led the Premiership<\/a> table for nearly nine months now.<\/p>\n The top two play each other on Saturday, but the dream down Gorgie way is for Saturday to be a time to sit down and relax rather than a showdown.<\/p>\n But that all depends on what happens tonight – both in the capital and North Lanarkshire.<\/p>\n First and foremost, Derek McInnes<\/a>‘ men need to handle their own business and win against Falkirk<\/a>.<\/p>\n They’ve done that three times already in the league this season without conceding a goal.<\/p>\n However, John McGlynn did knock his former club out of the Scottish Cup on penalties and the Bairns are the only team to leave Tynecastle this season with any sort of victory.<\/p>\n The Jambos will have to do it without Craig Halkett and Marc Leonard after a horror double Achilles injury blow at Fir Park last week.<\/p>\n But this is a team that’s answered every question thrown at them this season.<\/p>\n They’ll now be posed one, maybe two more questions as history beckons.<\/p>\n Hearts:<\/strong> Schwolow, Steinwender, Kent, Findlay, Milne, Baningime, Devlin, Spittal, Kyziridis, Braga, Shankland.Subs:<\/strong> Fulton, Kingsley, McCart, Kabore, Borchgrevink, Forrest, Altena, Kerjota, Chesnokov.<\/p>\n Falkirk:<\/strong> Hogarth, Henderson, Donaldson, Spencer, Broggio, Yeats, Allan, Tait, Wilson, Miller, Hart.
