    Viktoria Plzen 0-0 Hearts

    Plzen start the second half on the front foot and Lukas Kalvach drags a shot wide of the post.

    No changes at the break, by the way.

    Seems to be thing here at half-time... if you appear on the big screen you have to down your beer.

    Seems like clever marketing from one of Copenhagen's sponsors. Probably...

    The longer the game goes on at 0-0, I think Derek McInnes will continue to look to bolster the defence and take the result back to Rugby Park.

    Fair play to Killie keeper Kieran O'Hara. Had to put up with the incessant din from the drummers.

    He'll get peace in the second half. Not a soul directly behind the other goal.

  6. HALF-TIME Copenhagen 0-0 Kilmarnockpublished at 18:55 British Summer Time 22 August

    A bit of a nervous affair in the Danish capital but importantly, Kilmarnock are level at half-time.

    At times they've been camped in their own box, playing the part of brick wall as Copenhagen battered them with shots from distance.

    Other times, they've broken quickly and Kyle Vassell has pestered the home defence.

    Not much in the way of clear-cut chances though.

    Copenhagen 0-0 Kilmarnock

    Denis Vavro with another crack from long range.

    That's the third time he's got in that position and arrowed one towards the bottom corner.

    This time it's wide.

    HT: Viktoria Plzen 0-0 Hearts

    Brian McLauchlin

    Hearts boss Steven Naismith didn't seem too happy with the way his midfielders were distributing the ball at times in the first half.

    There were too many backwards passes and that at times put the backline under pressure.

  9. HALF-TIME Viktoria Plzen 0-0 Heartspublished at 18:49 British Summer Time 22 August

    Hearts will be pretty pleased with the scoreline, and their end to the half.

    They came alive a bit more with two Lawrence Shankland strikes.

    Before that, Plzen were unlucky not to be ahead. Only a Craig Gordon save and a Jorge Grant block on the line prevented them from taking the lead.

  10. CLOSE!published at 18:47 British Summer Time 22 August

    Viktoria Plzen 0-0 Hearts

    That's Hearts' best effort.

    Cammy Devlin cushions a pass to Lawrence Shankland on the edge of the box and he smashes it on target, forcing a good save.

    A minute later and Shankland again forces a stop from Marian Tvrdon from 18 yards.

    Much, much better from Hearts.

    Copenhagen 0-0 Kilmarnock

    Maybe it could be better than 0-0.

    A Kilmarnock free-kick is flicked on to the back post by Brad Lyons and Nathan Trott is able to get there before a lurking Marley Watkins.

    Millimetres away!

  12. ouch!

    Ouch!published at 18:45 British Summer Time 22 August

    Copenhagen 0-0 Kilmarnock

    An injury for Copenhagen as Birger Meling is replaced by Gabriel Pereira. That injury delay rather took any steam out of Kilmarnock's brief momentum.

    Still, as we tick towards half-time, you have to think Derek McInnes will be happy with 0-0 at the break.

    Copenhagen fans engage in a call and response chant in English.

    Sektion 12 - the bilingual ultras.

    Viktoria Plzen 0-0 Hearts

    That's good defending from Frankie Kent.

    Jan Kopic somehow gets to a long ball and cuts it back for Daniel Vasulin, whose shot is blocked by Kent.

    Neil McCann

    He's just got his eye on the goalkeeper.

    It's a good chance that, y'know.

  16. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 18:41 British Summer Time 22 August

    Viktoria Plzen 0-0 Hearts

    Kenneth Vargas is down screaming for a penalty.

    He's played in behind and lobs the goalkeeper, and then runs into him.

    The ball goes off target, but Vargas wants a spot kick. Not for me, to be honest.

    There's not much contact and the ball was well gone, and off target.

    Copenhagen 0-0 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock's first shot - after 35 minutes - goes behind for a corner.

    For all they've defended well, they've struggled to create a proper shooting chance.

    Here comes the corner... and it's cleared at the front post.

    Remind me which one of these teams beat Manchester United last season?

    Hearts will be pleased with the scoreline for now, no doubt about that.

    The Plzen fans are already giving Craig Gordon the whistle (not that one) as they believe the Hearts number one is time wasting.

    We have played just over 30 minutes.
