Andy Halliday admits Hearts need to take points from RFS over their two games if they've to stand a chance in their Europa Conference League section.
Robbie Neilson's side suffered a 4-0 loss at Tynecastle last week in their opening game of the section against top seeds Istanbul Basaksehir, who arrived in the capital on a 23 unbeaten run. Following the big loss, the squad had a chat with Halliday revealing the home side were hugely disappointed with the outcome.
Five games remain in the section starting with a clash in Latvia against the pot four side. They dumped out Linfield on penalties to reach this stage of the competition and then picked up a stunning result in Florence as they shared the spoils with Fiorentina on matchday one. The hosts boast a much superior height difference with a number of their players standing at 6ft3 plus. This will present a challenge to Hearts both in an attacking and defensive sense as they bid to get off the mark on Thursday night - and put their poor run of form to bed.
