Frankie McAvoy admits seeing Liam Boyce and Beni Baningime back playing is 'fantastic' as he reflected on Hearts' defeat to Plymouth.
The English Championship new boys claimed victory in Marbella after Freddie Issak's first half opener proved the difference between the two sides on the day. The Jambos boss believes it was tale of two halves but at this stage of the season it is all about building up to the Scottish Premiership opener early next month and the Europa Conference League qualifiers.
Looking back on the game, McAvoy says there are good points to take away in what is 'very early days' in the pre-season calendar for the Tynecastle outfit. He also reserved special praise for the support out in sunny Spain with their presence making it a much more competitive game for all involved. Speaking to the Hearts official website, he said: "It took us about fifteen minutes to get properly going, after they got the first goal, but we eventually found our feet and did a lot better.
