Alan Forrest wants to put on a show for the Hearts support as he targets a return to winning ways against Ross County.
Interim boss Steven Naismith is looking to get off the mark in the dugout after his first game in charge ended in a derby day defeat against Hibs. Kevin Nisbet was the hero for Lee Johnson's side as he fired the only goal of the game at Easter Road to keep their top six destiny in their own hands while piling the misery on the Jambos.
It's five Premiership games in a row that have ended in defeat for the Gorgie side and that horror run has allowed Aberdeen to open a five point cushion in third with just six games to be played. The Staggies arrive in the capital bottom of the league and fighting for their Premiership lives as the league gets ready to split into the top and bottom six.

Forrest believes Hearts are just not getting the 'rub of the green' at the moment as he told every one to stick together and things will come good.
Speaking to the media, he told Hearts' official website: “It’s been tough for us: results haven’t been what we wanted but, at the same time, training’s been good.
“We’ve been doing a lot of things right but we’re just not getting the rub of the green at the moment with results. We need to stick together, and if we do that, we can turn it around.
“It’s definitely not going to be an easy game but with the fans behind us at home, we can hopefully put on a show for them. We know that if we can get a result, and maybe some other results go our way, we can get back to a good position. We know how it can turn, we just need that one win, we’re capable of going on a run again.
“We know what they’re going to bring, we know their strengths. It’s not going to be an easy game but it’s a good one for us to get back on track.”
