Robbie Neilson is in the market for recruits as he gets set to juggle domestic and European matters this upcoming campaign. The Tynecastle club finished third in the Premiership table behind Celtic and Rangers last term and also reached the Scottish Cup Final. The reward for a fine season is a spot in the Europa League play-off round and the guarantee of group stage football. Should they lose out in Europe's second tier competition they will drop into the Europa Conference League guaranteeing a minimum of eight games on the big stage.
