EUROPA LEAGUE? No Shanks.
Hearts Czeched out of UEFA's second competition on a costly night that began with the injury absence of their skipper and talisman Lawrence Shankland and predictably ended with another goal drought.
Jeers rang round Tynecastle from the brassed-off home punters that had stayed to the end. And it told the story of a wretched start to the season that gaffer Steven Naismith looks no closer to turning round.
The simple truth is that the Jambos aren't good enough at this level.
Not if they can't get past a modest Czech side.
Without their No.9 they're toothless. And it's a huge problem for Naismith who is still chasing a first win of the season after six attempts in all competitions.
Hearts huffed and puffed but only managed one serious attempt on target on a night where they needed to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit.
