Hearts without suspended Langer at home to Hamilton
Marcel Langer begins a two-game ban when Hearts host Hamilton at Tynecastle on Saturday.
The German was shown a straight red card at Celtic Park on Wednesday night after launching into a wild tackle on Hoops skipper Scott Brown.

Manager Brian Rice also reported a couple of unnamed players were battling to overcome knocks.
Mickel Miller, Andy Dales and George Oakley remain out with hamstring injuries while Ciaran McKenna and Ryan Fulton are working their way back from knee injuries.
Hearts provisional squad: Pereira, White, Halkett, Smith, Dikamona, Sibbick, Souttar, Bozanic, Clare, MacLean, Meshino, Damour, Ikpeazu, Boyce, Naismith, Walker, Henderson, Irving, Moore, Avdijaj, Garuccio, Smith, Zlamal.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
