Pair wait on specialist advice

Andrew Driver and Marius Zaliukas are to both visit specialists over knee and foot problems, as Hearts look to resolve their injuries.

Driver was forced to sit out the 2-1 home defeat to St Johnstone after a recurrence of a foot injury, while Zaliukas has only featured five times this season due to fitness problems.

In fact Zalukas hasn't featured for the Jambos since the 2-1 win over Hamilton at the end of September, with excess fluid on his ankle keeping him on the sidelines.

Manager Csaba Laszlo revealed to the Scotsman: "Driver had no pre-season and is having a problem with his knee all the time. He is going to London to see a specialist and so, too, is Zaliukas to see about the problem with his ankle."
