Steven Naismith has admitted Hearts star Barrie McKay’s injury is worse than was first feared. The attacking midfielder injured his knee in Thursday’s 2-1 home defeat to PAOK.

McKay missed today’s defeat at Dundee. HIs technical director admitted he is likely to be facing several weeks out - but they need to wait for a definite time scale from the specialist.

Naismith said: "Barrie, I think it's worse than a couple of days or a couple of weeks. We're still waiting to hear back from the specialist.

He will probably be out a bit longer than we had hoped. It was strange. He felt it in his knee but the symptoms were showing it might have been calf or hamstring.
