Hearts 0 Omonoia 0 LIVE score and goal updates from the Conference League clash at Tynecastle

After a shocking start to the season, things are looking up for Hearts.

The Europa Conference League brought a first win of any sort as they came from behind to beat Dinamo Minsk in Azerbaijan earlier this month.

That was followed by a late defeat to Aberdeen, but the appointment of new boss Neil Critchley - despite the initial reaction - has fans feeling more positive after he scudded St Mirren 4-1 in his opening game.

There was also the added bonus of moving off the bottom of the table thanks to Hibs' spectacular stoppage time collapse at Tannadice.

Tonight brings a different test, but the Jambos are in a better place heading into their first home Euro tie of the league phase.

Opponents Omonia Nicosia have been in indifferent form in the Cypriot League and Hearts will fancy their chances of getting a result under the lights in Gorgie.

Then it's on to the small matter of an Edinburgh derby at Easter Road on Sunday and another win would send their fans across the city in buoyant mood.
