HEARTS defender Alex Cochrane admits it has been a “learning curve” adapting to a new position in a makeshift back line.
Cochrane was mainly deployed as a wing-back last season but recently he has been filling in at centre-back.
Hearts have been without the likes of Craig Halkett, Kye Rowles, Michael Smith and Nathaniel Atkinson as the defence bears the brunt of a raft of injuries, and Cochrane has had to improvise in difficult circumstances.
