Hearts Face Midfield Crisis, Milne Returns for Hibs Clash

0:00Hard to chase in the title, but just took a double blow with two key midfielders out for the season. Oyson Macinty is dealing with a hamstring injury, and Thomas Magnuson tweaked his thigh in training. These guys have racked up over 50 appearances this term, so it's a big loss for the jambos. On a brighter note, Versatile Defender Harry Millen looks set to return for Sunday's clash at Easter Road against rivals Hibbs. They kicks off the post split fixtures, and Millen's flexibility could plug some gaps in the squad right away. Fans are feeling the heat as hearts sit a point clear at the top, ahead of Rangers, while defending champ Celtic Trail by three points. The pressure is mounting with every match counting double now. Coach Derek McKinnis is staying positive. Eying those final five games ahead, he knows everyone will be a battle, no easy points in the stretch. With Millen potentially back, and the lead intact, hearts have a shot to keep pushing for glory despite the setbacks. Local news, powered by AI. This is Edinburgh News Today.
