Team news ahead of Sunday's Scottish Cup fifth-round clash between Hearts and St Johnstone at Tynecastle (kick-off 2.15pm).

Hearts goalkeeper Marian Kello is a doubt with a back injury, but their skipper Marius Zaliukas is available again after missing the SPL defeat at Inverness through suspension.

John Sutton is poised to move to Central Coast Mariners in Australia on loan, while his fellow striker Kevin Kyle (hip) remains a long-term absentee.

St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas has no fresh injury worries ahead of the game and has the option of naming a similar side to the one who narrowly lost to Motherwell last week.

The Perth club managed to retain skipper Jody Morris and star striker Francisco Sandaza in the transfer window and both are set to be involved in the fifth round clash.

Hearts (from): Kello, Barr, Hamill, Grainger, Webster, Zaliukas, Mrowiec, Templeton, Robinson, Skacel, Novikovas, Elliott, MacDonald, Obua, Black, Santana, Mullen, Smith, Glen, Taouil, Driver.

St Johnstone (from): Enckelman, C Davidson, McCracken, MacKay, Anderson, Morris, Croft, Craig, Sheridan, M Davidson, Sandaza, Haber, Compton, Gray, Stewart, Millar, Moffat, Mannus, Oyenuga, Keatings.
