Robbie Neilson insists his depleted Hearts side can deliver one of the greatest results in their history by turning their fire on Fiorentina.
The Tynecastle boss was part of a Jambos side which secured arguably their most famous win abroad with a 1-0 triumph over a star-studded Bordeaux outfit back in 2003. A Europa Conference League success on Thursday night at the Stadio Artemio Franchi would go down as one of the club's finest achievements with the odds of a Group A upset heavily stacked against them.
The Jambos arrived in Florence on Wednesday minus Michael Smith, Josh Ginnelly, Gary Mackay-Steven and Craig Halkett as they attempt to deliver an Italian Job on a side which outclassed them 3-0 at Tynecastle last Thursday. But Neilson is convinced his team can claim a victory over La Viola who are a team in domestic crisis after a 4-0 mauling from Lazio on Monday which has them languishing in 13th spot on the Serie A table.
