Hearts head coach Wouter Vrancken says visiting the Falkirk Stadium, with its three stands and artificial surface, will not faze him on Tuesday because he has managed in a variety of surroundings in the lowest ranks of Belgian football. "When I stopped playing football, it was about injuries," he recalled. Vrancken had not planned on football management until taking part-time roles in the fourth division at Gravelo and Overpelt, while working in accountancy, then had spells in charge of Thes and Lommel before a year back in the top flight as assistant to Glen De Boeck at Kortrijk for the 2017–18 season.
