Neil Critchley and Hearts would love a result like they had in Switzerland just over 20 years ago when they take on Cercle Brugge.
The Jambos are on six points in the league phase of the Conference League, with another win likely enough to seal progression. It’s a game that comes on the week of the 20th anniversary of a famous Hearts clash.
Hearts went ahead after the half-hour mark through a Dennis Wyness' effort from just outside the six-yard box hitting the net. Current number one Craig Gordon was eventually beaten after 77 minutes but Robbie Neilson struck a wonderful half-volley with two minutes of normal time to go, handing Hearts their first points in Group A of the 04/05 UEFA Cup.
A similar result in Belgium would go down a treat. Here is where the Hearts players who played that night are now.
