Hearts will have to do without Eggert Jonsson for the first Edinburgh derby of the season at Tynecastle on Saturday.

The Iceland defender is suspended following his red card for hauling back Jim O'Brien on the edge of the penalty box in last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Motherwell.

Other notable absentees for the hosts include Marius Zaliukas (ankle), Suso Santana (hernia), Laryea Kingston (hamstring), Callum Elliot (knee) and David Templeton.

Hibernian manager John Hughes has a clean bill of health for the short journey to the cross-town rivals.

In-form playmaker Merouane Zemmama has resumed light training after limping off early in last Saturday's 2-0 win over Aberdeen with a groin problem.

Otherwise Hibs have no other injury worries, and Hughes is widely expected to stick with the same starting XI for the fifth straight SPL outing.
