Liam Boyce given Hearts hope as boss refuses to say striker's season is over after knee blow

Liam Boyce has had a ruptured cruciate ligament injury confirmed by manager Robbie Neilson - but the Hearts striker may appear again before June.

The striker went down in distress during Sunday's Premiership win over St Johnstone and will now miss several months with the knee problem. Defender Kye Rowles will also be missing for a minimum of six weeks with a fractured metatarsal, with Nathaniel Atkinson and Jorge Grant in a fitness race ahead of Wednesday's Premier Sports Cup last 16 tie against Kilmarnock.
