Hearts have gone with a blend of youth and experience for their first pre-season friendly of the season.
And there’s a shock appearance for French outcast Loic Damour, who hasn’t appeared in maroon for 15 months.
Under 18s coach John Rankin is taking the team to face Linlithgow Rose rather than Robbie Neilson after last night’s game against Berwick Rangers had to be scrapped due to Covid issues.
The Tynecastle club confirmed yesterday that five members of their football department - including three players - tested positive and now have to self isolate.
That put today’s game in doubt, but Hearts confirmed earlier that the Prestonfield meeting was going ahead as planned.
And there are some big names in the team Rankin has picked, along with some youngsters getting the chance to impress.
Highly rated goalkeeper Harry Stone is handed a start between the sticks ahead of Ross Stewarts with Craig Gordon getting some extra time off after being away with Scotland at Euro 2020.
The other senior squad members include Peter Haring, Michael Smith, Andy Halliday and Gary Mackay-Steven, while Liam Boyce will lead the line in attack.
Young stars Leo Watson, Aaron Darge, Finlay Pollock and Connor Smith are also getting a run out against the East of Scotland Premiership side.
