How the Hearts players rated in 2-0 win over Stirling Albion

Hearts were victorious at Stirling Albion to reach the knockout stages of the Premier Sports Cup.

Robbie Neilson’s men ran out 2-0 winners at Forthbank Stadium thanks to goals from Liam Boyce and Finlay Pollock.

It means that the Tynecastle men have a game to spare when they welcome Inverness CT to Gorgie on Sunday before the start of the cinch Premiership with three wins from three in the League Cup.

Hearts were given something to think about by their League Two opponents who threatened with pace up front and were very well organised but the quality shone through in the end.
