Aberdeen have only picked up one point out of a possible six after losing at St Mirren and drawing at Hibernian, so they are expected to arrive at Tynecastle on Sunday (15.00) determined to find the form which has helped them keep pace with Celtic in the William Hill Premiership.
The Dons are second in the table with 32 points. The Jambos are also looking for a tonic having lost four straight games in all competitions and prop up the rest of the 12-strong table with nine points from 14 starts.
They have only scored 15 goals against Aberdeen’s total of 28 and Neil Critchley has challenged his men to bounce back after losing 2-0 at Cercle Brugge in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday.
The head coach (pictured by Ian Jacobs) said: “We can’t dwell on the game or the defeat. We have to get ready for a tough game on Sunday.”
Hibs moved off the bottom with their 3-0 victory at Motherwell on Saturday and they now have 12 points with Kilmarnock tenth on 13 points, the same total as St Johnstone who entertain Rangers on Sunday.
