Hearts vs Fiorentina LIVE as Stephen Kingsley wins fitness race to start

It's been a long time since Italian opposition rocked up in Gorgie.

November 1990 to be exact, when Bologna visited the capital and lost 3-1. There was to be no upset however, as the Italians ran out 3-0 victors at home to knock Hearts out.

This time, Fiorentina are the Serie A cracks looking to leave Tynecastle with all three points as they try to kick-start their Europa Conference League Group A campaign.

A home draw to RFS was followed by by a heavy defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir for tonight's visitors.

The Turks also thumped Robbie Neilson 's men, but a solid 2-0 win in Latvia saw them into second spot in the group.

A double header against La Viola could go a long to determining which of them claims second spot, with Basaksehir expected to take care of business from and finish top.

A positive home result will be key and if the atmosphere is what it can be under the lights, then Vincenzo Italiano's team are in for a game.

The Jambos will have to do without Craig Halkett though, who's missing through injury.
