Hearts vs Dumbarton preview - Hearts won't risk Wilson



Posted Friday, October 17, 2014 by PA

Scottish Championship leaders Hearts will take no risks with captain Danny Wilson when they host Dumbarton.

Wilson went off with a hamstring strain with 10 minutes left of their 1-0 win at Alloa last weekend and will be assessed before the game.

Head coach Robbie Neilson said: "Our incentive is to beat every team every week. We work all week to try and beat the team that we play on the Saturday.

"It doesn't matter who it is, it'll be the same the following week when we play Hibs. We'll build up exactly the same to make sure we're prepared for the game and to try and win it."

Dumbarton include fit-again midfielder Chris Turner, with on-loan St Johnstone defender Chris Kane expected to take a seat on the bench after overcoming a knee injury.

The only absentee for the Sons is midfielder Hugh Murray, who remains out with a calf problem.

Manager Ian Murray said: "Hearts are bang in form just now but we are on a good run as well so we can go to Tynecastle with some confidence. We earned a point from them earlier in the season and could have sneaked a win.

"Whilst it will be difficult we will look to do the same, if not better, this time out."
