When your luck is out, it's out and that's certainly been the case for Hearts when it comes to injuries this season.
Robbie Neilson is currently without ten first team regulars after losing another two during Sunday's 2-0 loss away to Aberdeen. Andy Halliday was an early casualty at Pittodrie and Peter Haring a late one as the injury crisis at Tynecastle deepened amidst a poor run of form that has seen the capital side go five matches without a win in recent weeks.
The games aren't getting any easier either, with champions Celtic in town for the Premiership Saturday lunchtime kick-off this weekend. Then it's back to European action at home to Latvian outfit RFS. Robbie Neilson's team still have an outside chance of qualifying from Europa Conference League Group A, but must win against Rigas and hope Istanbul Basaksehir take care of Fiorentina. They then head to Turkey looking for all three points in their final encounter whilst hoping La Viola slip up against RFS.
