Hearts vs Zurich LIVE score as Liam Boyce leads the charge in attacking team for Europa League clash

Rangers got the job done last night, now it's Hearts' turn to fly the flag for Scotland in European competition.

After Motherwell and Dundee United fell by the wayside in the Conference League, the Jambos have the chance to mix it in the Europa League until December.

They know if they lose that group stage football will be theirs anyway, but dropping down a level won't be in the players' minds tonight.

They have work to do, however. Despite taking the lead in St Gallen last week thanks to Lawrence Shankland 's penalty, a wobbly spell saw Zurich hit back with two quickfire goals to take a lead to Edinburgh for tonight's encounter.

However, a packed-to-the-rafters Tynecastle will be a different proposition for Franco Foda's men, no matter how often he insists the atmosphere can help his charges. Better teams than them have found it too hot to handle and Robbie Neilson will be hoping those in the stands crack up the heat on their opponents.

Craig Halkett's injury after just six minutes in Switzerland was a blow and the defender hasn’t made tonight's game due to the hamstring strain he picked up. But the hosts have strong squad to call on and will believe they have enough to get the job done without the Scotland call-up.

Hearts starting XI: Gordon, Rowles, Kingsley, Forrest, Devlin, Grant, Cochrane, McKay, Boyce, Shankland.

Subs: Subs: Stewart, Haring, Mackay-Steven, Atkinson, Halliday, Neilson, Sibbick, Smith, Ginnelly, Pollock.
