Hearts could have winger Andy Driver back fit and ready for the Edinburgh Derby on Saturday. Driver has only started one game in four months, the Co-operative Insurance Cup semi-final defeat by St Mirren last month at Fir Park. But the 22-year-old will make an appearance against Kilmarnock in a closed-doors friendly tomorrow night and that could show he is ready for action against Hibs at home on Saturday.
Manager Jim Jefferies said: "I hope to give Andrew 20-25 minutes or so and we'll see how he goes. He has been training without any reaction and if he is okay, then he'll be in my thoughts. I certainly haven't ruled him out of possibly starting against Hibs. It's a big game for us as regards the top six and we all want to him."
Another who will test his mettle on a return from injury against Killie will be Scott Robinson but Calum Elliot is doubtful for the Tynecastle derby after suffering a knee injury in Saturday's loss to Motherwell.
