Hearts were boosted by the news today that Andrew Driver has returned to full training.

The England U21 international has been out of action since the end of October with a knee injury, which has required an extended period of rehabilitation.

Now Andrew is back in action much to the delight of Csaba Laszlo.

Speaking this morning at his pre-match news conference the manager said, "It is good that Andrew Driver is back in the training.

"Yesterday he trained fully with us and I hope that his knee will be ok."

Tomorrow night's game will come too early for Andrew, as it will for Calum Elliot, but there was more good news this morning after Csaba revealed the striker will return to training next week.

Gary Glen is still working his way back to full fitness whilst David Templeton, Dawid Kucharski, and Arvydas Novikovas are all likely to miss the visit of the Dons.

Jose Goncalves is set to return to the squad after two weeks out, having returned from specialist treatment in Germany.
