RFS will face Hearts full of confidence on Thursday after a 4-0 win over Super Nova.
The Latvian Higher League outfit are at Tynecastle in midweek for the Jambos’ penultimate Europa Conference League Group A clash. Robbie Neilson’s side were 2-0 winners in Riga last month after a Lawrence Shankland penalty and Alan Forrest’s late strike gave them their only points of the campaign to date, having suffered heavy defeats against Istanbul Basaksehir and Fiorentina home and away.
The capital club retain slim hopes of finishing second, but need a favour in Florence. The Turkish outfit can secure their status as group winners if they leave Italy with all three points. The Jambos must also make it a double against RFS to set up a final game shoot-out for second place. They would then be relying on La Viola to drop points in Latvia and record an unlikely victory themselves in Istanbul.
