00:00We're going to dive into the heart's depth chart.

00:02Quite a simple concept, really.

00:04We're going to go through each position using the club's

00:07listed senior squad as our guide,

00:09trying to figure out the top man in each position currently.

00:13To begin with, Barry, I suppose, before we go any further,

00:16one of the biggest talking points in terms of this

00:19might be which formation Steven Naismith actually

00:22wants to line up with, because it's not just

00:26changing game to game, it's changing during games

00:28more often than not.

00:30Yeah, it has done.

00:33I think Steven Naismith tends to prefer a back four

00:37just ordinarily, but it has achieved some decent results

00:41with Hearts playing a back three.

00:42Most notably, last season at Celtic Park,

00:45they won at Celtic Park for the first time in years,

00:47they played a back three that day.

00:49So it wouldn't surprise me to see them line up that way

00:53this weekend, as much as they have looked better

00:56and just more solid and comfortable this season

00:58when they've played a back four.

00:59The back three did work at Celtic Park last year,

01:01and I think that will be in Steven Naismith's mind.

01:04Ordinarily, I think you have to go with a four.

01:07I certainly think that's what Hearts are better suited to.
