Souttar set to return for cup quarter-final

Defender John Souttar is set to return for Hearts’ Scottish Cup quarter-final at Motherwell on Sunday.

The 21-year-old, who has been tipped for a Scotland call-up, missed Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock due to a tight hamstring.

Meanwhile, long-term absentees Arnaud Djoum (Achilles) and Jamie Brandon (knee)have undergone operations this week.
