Hearts broken by winger injury blow

Winger Saulius Mikoliunas will miss Hearts' SPL visit of Hamilton on Wednesday after a knee injury ruled him out for up to two months.

The Lithuanian winger suffered the injury during Saturday's 1-0 win against St Mirren and looks like he will not be in Hearts boss Csaba Laszlo's plans until early in the New Year.

Midfielder Michael Stewart is also missing for the Hamilton game at Tynecastle as he starts a three-game ban after his straight red card against the Saints.

Laryea Kingston and Deividas Cesnauskis are both missing due to thigh injuries, while Audrius Ksanavicius is also a big doubt, but Christos Karipidis is available and Marius Zaliukas is back from a ban.
