The 17-year-old mifielder was on the end of a bad tackle from Hibs’ Josh Campbell during Hearts’ 2-1 win in the SPFL Reserve Cup on Monday afternoon at the Oriam. The Hibs midfielder was shown a second yellow card for the challenge, while Cochrane limped off to be replaced by Lewis Moore.

The teenager was one of Hearts’ few bright points last season, making 24 appearances, becoming a key member of the first-team squad.
