After performing well in the 3-1 league defeat, Robbie Neilson’s team are now preparing to take on Celtic again this Saturday, this time in the Scottish Cup quarter-final at Tynecastle Park. It’s a big game, representing Hearts’ only chance to lift a trophy this season.
Securing third place in the Premiership is another key priority, so the manager will be hoping to get some of his injured players back soon. Here’s a list of of who is out and when they might be back.
5. Stephen Humphrys
The powerful striker picked up a knee injury a couple of weeks ago and is on the mend. Should probably be considered doubtful for Saturday, with Hearts keeping their cards close to their chest Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
6. Yutaro Oda
Took a painful kick to his foot at Celtic Park and had to be replaced after having coming on as sub himself. The Japanese forward will undergo a scan to assess the extent of the damage but if it is an impact injury he shouldn't be out for too long Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
7. Peter Haring
The Austrian hasn't featured since suffering a concussion injury against Aberdeen at Pittodrie in October, but is now back in full training. He won’t be available until after the international break at the end of this month. Photo: Mark Scates - SNS Group
8. Beni Baningime
He is back on the grass and running again, but the midfielder hasn't played since March 19 last year when he ruptured his ACL. Perhaps has an outside chance of featuring just before the end of the season Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
