Hearts are going through their final preparations for taking on Heidenheim this Thursday night,
The Bundesliga side will pose a tough Conference League opponent for Neil Critchley’s side. Having started the league phase with wins against Dinamo Minsk and Omonia Nicosia, continental confidence is high.
Ahead of the game, Critchley and his coaching staff worked with the players on the training pitch. There was a watching brief for CEO Andrew McKinlay, who was in attendance during the course of training.
All the senior stars involved will be keen to get a taste of the action ahead of another possibly special night at Tynecastle. Here are nine of the best photos from the Hearts session
