Burns, who can play in midfield and at left-back, has previously been capped by his nation at under-21 level.

The former Glenavon star made four appearances for Craig Levein’s men after moving to Tynecastle this past summer before being loaned to Livingston on a season-long deal.

Hearts stars Michael Smith and Aaron Hughes have also been included in O’Neill’s squad.
