Hearts will have to do without Marius Zaliukas in Saturday's SPL clash with Kilmarnock at Tynecastle as he recovers from ankle surgery.

The Lithuania defender injured the joint in last weekend's 3-1 defeat to Dundee United and is likely to miss the rest of the season, starting with the Jambos' Tynecastle meeting with Killie.

Also missing for John McGlynn's men will be Ryan Stevenson, who was handed a three-match ban following his straight red card for a dangerous studs-up tackle on Gary Mackay-Steven in that Tannadice loss.

Kilmarnock welcome back James Fowler from suspension for the game - but Kenny Sheils still has injury concerns.

The Rugby Park boss rates Rangers target Cammy Bell as doubtful as the goalkeeper continues his recovery from a hip injury.

Striker Cillian Sheridan and defender Rory McKeown, meanwhile, have no chance of featuring as they recover from their own knocks.
