History of the Heart Of Midlothian v Dundee United fixture

Hearts prepare to entertain Dundee United at Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Jambo's are clearly on top, having won 33 and lost only 15 of the 64 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tynecastle Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2003, the Jambo's carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
