Hearts fans' favourite Rudi Skacel WILL return to Tynecastle for Gary Locke's testimonial.
The Jambos legend will make the trip to the capital alongside a host of fellow clubs heroes for the first-team clash with English Championship side Stoke City on July 23. Skacel will be in attendance on the day and take part in half-time activities to honour Locke.
The match will act as Robbie Neilson and Co's final pre-season friendly as they come to end of preparations ahead of a huge campaign in Gorgie. Last season's third place finish behind Celtic and Rangers and a Scottish Cup Final spot earned a guaranteed crack at European group stage football. The Jambos enter the Europa League play-off round but have the parachute of the Europa Conference League proper should they suffer defeat in the two-legged tie to reach Europe's second tier competition. The likes of Gary Mackay, Dave McPherson, Jose Quitongo, Ian Black and Andy Webster will also be along on the day for the celebrations.
