Hearts
- Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers made two changes as a dominant display saw them sweep St Mirren aside with a 3-0 victory in Paisley, before they clinched some derby day delight with a victory over Rangers by the same scoreline.
- Kasper Schmeichel remained behind an unchanged back four of Alistair Johnston, who appeared to pick up an injury on international duty whilst with Canada, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales and Greg Taylor.
- Reo Hatate and Callum McGregor were joined by Paulo Bernardo in midfield. The two alterations came in the attacking trio as Daizen Maeda was joined by Nicholas Kühn - in place of James Forrest - in support of Kyogo Furuhashi who took Adam Idah's spot up front.
- Steven Naismith made four changes as the Jambos dropped into the Europa Conference League after losing 1-0 to Viktoria Plzen in Edinburgh and 2-0 on aggregate to the Czechs, before Dundee United snuck past them at Tynecastle.
- Craig Halkett entered the Hearts defence, with Kye Rowles and Gerald Taylor making way as the Jambos shifted to a back four. Jorge Grant and Malachi Boateng were joined by Blair Spittal in midfield at Cammy Devlin's expense.
- Yutaro Oda started on the right, with Kenneth Vargas keeping his place on the left. Star striker Lawrence Shankland returned against his former club, as Dundee United won 1-0 in Edinburgh before the break, with Liam Boyce dropping onto the bench.
