Hearts will clash with arch-rivals Hibs next week as the two teams look to secure a massive win at the Edinburgh derby.
This comes as Hearts continues its exciting winning streak after securing victories against Celtic and Paisley side St Mirren.
Ahead of the anticipated match, Hearts boss Steven Naismith revealed that he would be declining an "innovative" move by Sky to have him and Hibs head coach Nick Montgomery wear microphones for the match's live coverage.
Montgomery agreed to the proposal with Naismith saying: "It's not for me."

He added: "I've been in these situations before. I understand how heated they can get and how passionate people can get. I'm just not interested in it."
He said that he is open to allowing supporters some insights into what goes on behind the scenes but stressed that there needs to be "boundaries".

Kick-off for the Edinburgh derby match between Hibs and Hearts will take place from 8pm on Wednesday, December 27.
