Hearts in Germany - four games now confirmed
Hearts today confirmed two additional tour matches for the team's pre-season camp in Germany.
Csaba Laszlo's side will spend six nights in Lower Saxony and will now play four action-packed matches.
The Edinburgh outfit are set to take on Polish top-flight side Slask Wroclaw (8th July, 7pm local in Hamburg) and Alemania Aachen (12th July, 3pm local in Basweiler) to complete four-match tour line-up.
Hearts has previously announced games against regional German side Goslar 08 at the Osterfeldstadion, in the historic Unesco town (7th July, 7pm local) and Bundesliga 2 outfit St Pauli at their Millerntor Stadion in Hamburg (10th July, 7pm local).
Slask Wroclaw finished sixth in last year's Ekstraklasa (Polish Premier League) and are sure to provide Hearts with stiff competition.
Likewise, Alemannia Aachen finished fourth in last season's Bundesliga 2, just short of promotion back to Germany's top division and will afford Hearts a stern test.
Hearts in Germany - Provisional Fixture List:
Tuesday 7th July, 7pm local
Goslar 08 v Hearts - Osterfeldstadion, Goslar
Wednesday 8th July, 7pm local
Slask Wroclaw - Osterfeldstadion, Goslar

Hearts head to Germany on 6th July and the team will be based in Barsinghausen, near Hannover, staying at the superb Sporthotel Fuchsbachtal, a professional training centre used by German and Turkish national teams in recent years.
Tickets are expected to be available locally for all games. St Pauli has intimated that a dedicated away section will be open at the Millerntor Stadion.
Hearts have also unveiled two major pre-season challenge matches at Tynecastle against Barclays Premier League sides Bolton Wanderers (4th August, 7.30pm) and Sunderland (8th August, 3pm).
As is often the case, pre-season tour matches are subject to change, particularly once the team arrives at its base. Supporters should note in recent years this has happened in terms of opponents, venues and kick-off times. Any supporter travelling to Germany is advised to keep a close eye on heartsfc.co.uk or heartsfc.wap.com.
