RFS vs Hearts LIVE score and goal updates from Europa Conference League clash in Riga

It's a case of bouncing back for Hearts who are in action tonight for the first time since last week's thrashing against Istanbul Basaksehir.

The men in maroon make the journey to Latvia to take on RFS in their second Europa Conference League group stage clash.

Robbie Neilson' s team were brought crashing back down to earth by the Turkish side in their opener and know they'll realistically need to take something against Riga to stand any serious chance of qualifying, with a double-header with Fiorentina looming just around the corner.

The Latvian side are their best chance of racking up some points but they held the Italians to a draw in Florence last week, showing they're no pushovers in their first ever outing in European group stage football.

The Jambos meanwhile are stinging from three defeats on the spin after they weren't given a chance to put things right at the weekend with Queen Elizabeth's passing postponing their game with St Mirren.

So, the Gorgie outfit will instead be looking to bounce back on their travels this evening.

It is sure to be an exciting night. You can follow all the build up, team news and LIVE action right here in our blog.

Craig Halkett is set to return to the Hearts side after an injury lay-off and boss Robbie Neilson knows having the defender back will be a welcomed boost.

The problems we have had is the selection of the back three or four because we have had a lot of injuries. Kye Rowles has been out, Halkett has been out, we have Nathaniel Atkinson out and its been difficult to get settled.

Getting Halkett back in will help us, but other than that, it's getting back to what we are good at. We need to get passing the ball into good areas and getting our key players on the ball
