Head coach Wouter Vrancken says Hearts fringe players must "step up" amid a spate of midfield injuries. Laurent Mendy and Tomas Magnusson started Sunday's Scottish Premiership win over Dundee with Blair Spittal and Tom Renaud both out with long-term injuries. Renaud picked up an ankle problem in the recent Conference League play-off victory away to Rapid Vienna, while Spittal suffered a shin injury in Thursday's derby victory over Hibernian.
Striker Claudio Braga says Hearts always had the belief they could come back from a goal down and eventually grab all three points against Dundee at Tynecastle. The Dens Park club led through a Bradley Fink goal in the first half until a late double, including a penalty by Braga, secured Hearts' fourth successive win in the league and took them into second place in the Scottish Premiership table. After Hearts made some tactical changes at half-time they were always on top, with 19 attempts on the Dundee goal in the second half.
