Hearts prepare to entertain Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday afternoon, determined to stop the rot against their opponents, having lost out to their rivals on 2 of the previous 3 occassions.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tynecastle Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
