Craig Halkett has provided Hearts a major injury boost as he revealed he is very close to returning to first-team action.
The defender is a key man in the heart of the Jambos' defence and his absence has been telling with goals being leaked and victories hard to come by of late. He missed last night's four goal defeat in the Europa Conference League opener to Istanbul Basaksehir.
The stopper spoke to BT Sport before the match in the build-up to kick-off and delivered a positive update on the injury front by saying he should be back for next week's away game with RFS in Latvia. That news will come as a huge delight to Robbie Neilson and the Hearts support as they look to get back to winning ways. Team-mate Liam Boyce also gave an update on his situation during his pundit duty in the studio with a date now set for his operation.
