Hearts have received a boost with the news that long-term absentee Robbie Neilson has resumed light training.

The Scotland full-back has been out of action since undergoing surgery on an ankle injury during pre-season, but has resumed running at the club's Riccarton training ground this week.

The 28-year-old remains on course for a first-team comeback before the end of the year.

Meanwhile, manager Csaba Laszlo has called for patience in his young side despite back-to-back Scottish Premier League defeats at the hands of Kilmarnock and Dundee United.

"We must remember we have a young team and already because we have lost two games people are saying we have big problems," he told the club's official website.

"But we cannot think negative thoughts, this is not right. We must be positive and we must stick together. I have learnt a lot about my players in the last two games.

"It is at times like these that I learn who is with or who is against this club."
