Hearts prepare to entertain Kilmarnock at Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Jambo's are clearly on top, having won 48 and lost only 18 of the 90 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tynecastle Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2003, with Hearts running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
