Steven Naismith has urged Hearts’ youngsters to grab their chance to shine in the Marbella sun as they prepare to end their pre-season trip with a friendly against Plymouth tomorrow.
Ten of the Tynecastle kids that were part of Naismith’s B team last season have journeyed out to southern Spain for the warm weather training camp. Goalkeepers Harry Stone and Liam McFarlane join Luke Rathie, Calum Flatman, Harry Gordon, Aiden Denholm, Bobby McLuckie, Finlay Pollock, Calum Sandilands and James Wilson in the squad.
And most, if not all, will get a taste of the action against Championship side Argyle on Wednesday evening along with Liam Boyce and Beni Baningime who are both back after lengthy spells out with ACL injuries. Technical director Naismith said: “This is an opportunity for the younger players. They have the chance to show that they can survive in the first team environment, but also try to make an impact and look to try and take someone’s place in the team.
