Kingston eyes Saints game

Hearts midfielder Laryea Kingston is hoping to return against St Johnstone on Saturday after stepping up training.

The Ghana international was first back in training on Friday and then had extra sessions over the weekend in a bid to give him a great chance of making the side next weekend.

The 29-year-old said: "The guys were given the weekend off because of the international matches.

"But I was in for training as I just came back on Friday after being out for a few weeks. I'll see how things go this week but obviously the target is the St Johnstone game on Saturday. If everything is okay then I'd love to be involved at some stage.

"Yes it has been frustrating but what can I do about injuries? Hopefully this is all behind me now and I can get back to helping Hearts climb up the table," he added on the Hearts website.
