Robbie Neilson is convinced the results will come for Hearts when their mounting injury problems start to clear up.
The Jambos lost another two players in the 2-0 Premiership defeat to Aberdeen at PIttodrie on Sunday. Andy Halliday had to come off after less than ten minutes while Peter Haring was in a bad way following a head knock late on and needed to be stretchered off.
Those latest losses take the total number of injured members of Neilson’s squad up to 11 ahead of facing champions Celtic at Tynecastle next week. The boss is hopeful of having one or two back for that game, but has charged those filling in to grasp their chance in the meantime: “For me, it’s an opportunity for people to get game time and show what they’ve got,” he told BBC Sportsound. "We’ve got a lot of young players around the squad who are coming on and starting games. It’s a great opportunity, but it’s up to the older ones and the coaching staff to try and lead them, keep them on the right path and we’ll get through this.
