Hartly out for Hearts

Hearts midfielder Paul Hartley will miss the Bank of Scotland Premier League visit of Motherwell.

The Scotland international was dismissed during the draw at St Mirren last weekend and is suspended.

The future of club captain Steven Pressley remains uncertain and the defender is unlikely to play.

Mirsad Beslija (knee), Mauricio Pinilla (calf), Deividas Cesnauskis (leg) and Roman Bednar (heel) remain on the sidelines.

Provisional squad: Gordon, Neilson, Tall, Berra, Zaliukas, Fyssas, Mikoliunas, Aguiar, Brellier, McCann, Jankauskas, Pospisil, Velicka, Banks, Mole, Barasa, Goncalves, Wallace.
