Karipidis set to boost Hearts

Hearts defender Hristos Karipidis is set to return from injury in time for their next SPL outing.
The Greek defender has been sidelined for three weeks after picking up a back injury in a 1-1 draw with St Mirren.
But Karipidis is set to return when the SPL resumes with Hearts' home game against Saints on Saturday April 19.
"Its good news that Hristos is nearly there," caretaker manager Stephen Frail told the club's official website.
"Hopefully we'll be able to include him in the squad for St Mirren and take it from there.
"He's really impressed since returning to the team after a period of injury at the start of the year and I think we've seen what a good player he can be for us."
Meanwhile, Hearts are also set to be boosted by the return of Finnish striker Juho Makela after an injury-ravaged season.
