Craig Gordon has backed "fantastic" Calem Nieuwenhof to make up for lost time after the Hearts midfielder marked his comeback from long-term injury with a crucial Scottish Cup strike.
The 23-year-old, who had been sidelined since last March with a hamstring injury, came off the bench to score a late equaliser against St Mirren on Monday night before two saves from Gordon in the shootout sent Hearts through to the quarter-finals 4-2 on penalties.
"It's been great to have Calem back," said Gordon, 42. "He's obviously had some real bad luck with injuries over the last year but he's a really good player, a really solid midfield player.
"He brings a lot to the team. He's a great player for us to have coming back and being fresh at this stage of the season, ready to go again.
"I was absolutely delighted for him to get a goal. Hopefully he can continue to kick on and get more minutes because that's an area of the pitch where it's great to have somebody else coming back into the fold at this stage.
"He was on the bench last week and he never got on so to come on to a game when you're 1-0 down with not long to go to try and help turn it around, he was fantastic. He's so laidback, I would never worry about him in any situation."
Gordon, who saved St Mirren's first two penalties from Oisin Smyth and James Scott, revealed he had been preparing for a shootout in training.
"It was something we did with the guys that were likely to take penalties," he said.
"I'd made a few saves (in training), so I was looking forward to it. I thought I might get one or two. To get the first two and really put the pressure on the guys coming after that and take the pressure off my team was nice."
Hearts, now unbeaten in eight games, have a home tie in the last eight against a Dundee side they beat 6-0 earlier this month.
"You look for a home draw and it's been a while since we've had one, so it was nice to get through and get rewarded with a home tie," said Gordon. "I'm sure they'll be out for revenge, especially after last week there, so it will be a difficult one."
