Hearts have released French midfielder Julien Brellier before his contract expires at the end of June.
The 25-year-old made 60 appearances for the Jambos after moving to Tynecastle at the beginning of the 2005-06 campaign.
Meanwhile, Ghanaian Larry Kingston could be fit enough to play in the last game of the season despite picking up an ankle injury in the Edinburgh derby victory over Hibs.
Assistant coach Stephen Frail said: "He put some weight on the ankle and was a little more mobile. He's still using the crutches for a little bit of support but he should be free of them in the next day or so.
"We'll need to be very cautious with him and make sure we get him fit and rehabilitated properly. If he can play on Sunday, then we'll be delighted to have him.
"In terms of selection problems, we won the derby on Saturday without Julien so we'll just need to see what we've got available come the end of the week."
