00:00Match of the weekend for me, Kilmarnock and Hearts at Rugby Park.

00:04Derek McInnes returns to Ayrshire.

00:06I think Kettlewell's got a nice tune-out with him

00:08and then obviously we know how good Hearts have been under Derek McInnes.

00:13I think Kilmarnock have got a real chance.

00:14I know Hearts have been amazing,

00:17but you've seen them drop points against Motherwell

00:19and I think this will be, obviously they won at Ibrox,

00:23but I think this could be the toughest test so far

00:25and these are the games that will show,

00:28do they have the stuff made for competing with Rangers and Celtic

00:32because, as we know, Rugby Park is never a good away ground to go to

00:36for old farm teams, Edinburgh teams,

00:39and the only time they've dropped points,

00:42the only time they've been beaten this season was a last-minute penalty.

00:45So, no, I'm looking forward to it myself.

00:48I fully agree with you.

00:49I think this is their most difficult test of the season so far

00:53and it's incredible to say that given that they've had to go to Ibrox,

00:56but I really, I don't know.

00:59I'm really struggling to predict this one

01:02because, like you say, I think that home advantage

01:04and the much maligned plastic pitch

01:06and the Rugby Park just being traditionally

01:10just a place where dreams go to die

01:12for a lot of opposition clubs,

01:15I don't know.

01:16So, I'm thinking maybe my heart's going with a 2-1 win for Hearts here,

01:22but it wouldn't surprise me if, like you say,

01:24given how we saw, I could see what happened in that Motherwell game,

01:28you know, Hearts with the attacking options they have

01:30and Killy having home advantage,

01:31I reckon we could have another high-scoring draw here.

01:34Yeah, that's what I was going to go for myself,

01:36maybe a 2-2 or something like that.

01:38I think I'm having quite a few 2-2s already this season.

01:41So, yeah, no, I'm really looking forward to it as well.

01:44As you said, McKinnon's going back to Rugby Park,

01:47Stuart Finlay as well,

01:48so it'll be interesting to see how Hearts get on in this one,

01:51but I'm going to go for a score draw.
