Robbie Neilson says Hearts know the calibre of opponent they are coming up against in Europe after a tough 3-0 loss to Fiorentina at Tynecastle.
The Florence club punished the Jambos with a professional performance, their life made easier by Lewis Neilson being shown a red card for a foul on Luka Jovic, who eventually went on to net his team's third goal. Boss Neilson was disappointed with the manner in which Hearts conceded their goals in Europa Conference League Group A, although they still sit third and within one win of Fiorentina, who they face away from home next week.
That lack of minutes at this level throughout the Hearts squad showed in players like his young defender, who has impressed since joining from Dundee United in the summer. The Gorgie manager said: "A little bit of inexperience from Lewis. He's been fantastic for us in recent weeks. He’s playing against a 55m player.
