Hearts team to face Partick Thistle revealed Robbie Neilson hands two new signings their debuts

The Hearts team to face Partick Thistle in their final pre-season friendly contains two debutants.

Andy Halliday makes his first appearance in maroon since signing a two-year deal, as does Romanian centre back Mihail Popescu after completing his two-week quarantine.

There’s also a start for teenage full back Cammy Logan, fresh from signing a new three-year contract at Tynecastle.

Steven Naismith is in from the start and skippers the side after being eased back into action following a slight injury, while Peter Haring is on the bench for the third successive game as he continues his own, more measured comeback.

Craig Wighton leads the attack again after Robbie Neilson put his faith in him last weekend, with Liam Boyce among the subs.

Harry Cochrane and Lewis Moore also make their returns to the first-team squad.

Partick Thistle: Kieran Wright, James Penrice, Tam O’Ware, Joe Cardle, Blair Lyons, Shea Gordon, Rhys Breen, Ciaran McKenna, Charlie Reilly, Kouider-Aissa, Mouhamed Niang.

Hearts: Craig Gordon, Michael Smith, Cammy Logan, Craig Halkett, Mihai Popescu, Andy Halliday, Ewan Henderson, Olly Lee, Craih Wighton, Steven Naismith, Jordan Roberts.
