Hearts boss Jim Jefferies is set to be boosted by the return of Jason Thomson for this weekend's clash with Hamilton.

The full-back returned to training today after missing his side's last two games against Celtic and Falkirk and providing he suffers no reaction he will have every chance of facing the Accies on Sunday afternoon.

"Jason was back in training yesterday which was encouraging," said Jim.

"He's not been out too long so won't need as much time as someone who's been out for a while. Providing he's okay and available then he'll obviously be considered."

In a further lift for the Tynecastle manager, striker Jamie Mole is also on his way back to fitness having returned to full training after his latest injury setback.

Jose Goncalves, meanwhile, is still struggling with his knee problem. The defender has been unable to train recently and has had an injection in the knee and will now see how it settles down over the next few days.
