Thun 3-1 Hearts: Player ratings, a new injury, teenager debuts, defensive issues, Conference League fate

FC Thun defeated Hearts 3-1 in a UEFA Conference League tie in Switzerland, leaving the Scottish club's qualification hopes hanging by a thread. Jamie McCart scored an inadvertent own goal to open the scoring, followed by strikes from Brighton Labeau and Furkan Dursun to give Thun a commanding three-goal lead. Stuart Findlay headed home a late consolation goal for the visitors from Jordi Altena's free-kick.

Hearts head coach Wouter Vrancken dealt with ten pre-existing first-team injuries and faced another blow when vice-captain Stephen Kingsley was forced off with a suspected hamstring problem. The setback allowed 19-year-old Matthew Gillies to make his senior debut for the club. With only one point from their opening three fixtures, Hearts now likely require at least two victories from their final three games against Monaco, Borac, and Pafos to advance.
