Four Hearts players are out of Thursday’s Europa Conference League tie against Fiorentina in Italy, manager Robbie Neilson has confirmed.

Centre-back Craig Halkett did not travel, whilst full-back Michael Smith and wingers Josh Ginnelly and Gary Mackay-Steven are also missing through injury. “We are missing Michael Smith, Josh Ginnelly and Gary Mackay-Steven. Craig Halkett did not travel,” said Neilson.

Hearts are looking to exploit the pressure on Vincenzo Italian’s side, who were jeered from the field following Monday’s 4-0 Serie A defeat at home to Lazio. That followed last Thursday’s comfortable 3-0 win at Tynecastle.
