Hearts' Algerian defender Ismael Bouzid lasted the full 90 minutes of a behind-closed-door friendly with Motherwell on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old has not featured for the Jambos since early February and boss Jim Jefferies has warned that Bouzid will not be rushed back into the first-team fold.

He told the club's official website: "Ismael has missed a lot of games and we need to see how he reacts and then we'll have a better idea.

"It was good for him to get 90 minutes under his belt, though.

"It is not just a game to throw him in this weekend though against Kilmarnock, because it's very important and he's got to be right.

"There are other games after the split when we can get him back in, if need be."
