Hearts will be without Cammy Devlin for the trip to Kilmarnock today.

The Australian midfielder received a nasty knock on the head while representing his country against Ecuador in an international friendly. He had to get stitches on the field and has since reported concussion symptoms.

Robbie Neilson will, however, be bolstered by the return of Austrian midfielder Peter Haring who has missed almost six months with a concussion of his own.

Gary Mackay-Steven isn’t expected back this season after suffering a broken foot. And while Liam Boyce and Beni Baningime are back training, the pair aren’t expected to be ready to play again until the last couple of games this campaign, if at all, after each suffering ACL tears.

Craig Halkett (knee) and Craig Gordon (broken leg) are each out for the season.
