and live on Freeview channel 276
Vanecek is still striving for optimum fitness after joining Hearts from FK Teplice in January. His physical condition is improving but Levein omitted him on Tuesday after starting him at Dundee last weekend.
Austrian midfielder Peter Haring was also rested against Thistle but came on as substitute in the second half. Levein explained to the Evening News that both players will be involved at Hamilton.

“We gave Peter a rest in midweek because he has played a lot of games since he came back from injury. I feel it will help him only playing 25 minutes and hopefully we will see the benefits of that today. I thought he did well when he came on. He definitely helps us.”
