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.
