Hearts handed double injury boost as Wouter Vrancken could welcome back duo for St Mirren clash

Hearts could welcome back defenders Malachi Fagan-Walcott and Oisin McEntee for Saturday's Scottish Premiership match against St Mirren at Tynecastle. Fagan-Walcott has returned to training following a two-month ankle injury, while McEntee is expected to resume full training after recovering from a calf problem. Manager Wouter Vrancken confirmed that Fagan-Walcott is selectable and McEntee could make the matchday squad.

Defender Stuart Findlay is also expected to be available despite recent back trouble. However, Blair Spittal, Tom Renaud, and Craig Halkett remain sidelined as Hearts prepare for a demanding schedule featuring nine matches in four weeks across the Premiership, Conference League, and Premier Sports Cup.
