Andrew Driver, Craig Thomson and Scott Robinson are all hoping to be involved in Saturday's derby clash with Hibs after featuring in yesterday's closed-door meeting with Kilmarnock.

The trio made their long-awaited comeback from their respective injuries in the bounce game at Riccarton, with boss Jim Jefferies admitting he now has some serious thinking to do ahead of naming his team for the weekend.

Andrew played around 35 minutes of the game, while Craig and Scott were each given a half as Hearts chalked up a 1-0 victory courtesy of a Gary Glen goal.

"It was good for the the players to get a run out and the game was a very useful exercise," he said.

"Driver, Tommo and Scott are all desperate to be involved this weekend but we'll have to wait and see if they have any reaction today. They seemed to come through the game without any problems, though, so it is encouraging and has given me some food for thought as we look towards Saturday."
