    FT: Heart of Midlothian 4-1 Dundee United

    Dundee United head coach Jack Ross tells BBC Scotland: "Overall, we're nowhere near the levels we need to be at.

    "The opening period of the game, first 10 minutes, we looked weak. Our response was okay. The start to the second half again is desperately poor and then the game becomes a struggle.

    "We've had a really sore week, a really sore four days. You find out more about yourself in these types of situation. As a squad and as a collective, we're going to have to dig deep ahead of next week."

    FT: Heart of Midlothian 4-1 Dundee United

    Robbie Neilson is full of confidence ahead of Thursday's trip to face Zurich in the first leg of their Europa League play-off against a side who lie bottom of the Swiss league after today's 1-1 draw away to Winterthur.

    "They are having a difficult start to the season, but they are still Swiss champions and it's going to be a very difficult game," the Hearts boss tells BBC Scotland.

    "They have a lot international players and we are going to be at our best to get something out the game, but we've got a good group here with some very good players and we believe we can go there and put on a good show."

    Asked about defender Alex Cochrane withdrawal through injury, Neilson adds: "Alex will be fine for Thursday."

  4. Neilson cites tactical change for ease of winpublished at 17:21 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    FT: Heart of Midlothian 4-1 Dundee United

    Robbie Neilson was still critical of his side, despite the comfortable 4-1 scoreline against United.

    "I thought we started very well, got our goal in the first minute and then for the next 44 minutes we weren't at the races to be honest," the Hearts manager tells BBC Scotland.

    "We didn't get close enough, we were slack in our play and it wasn't until the second half when we showed what we're about.

    "We made a couple of changes tactically at half-time, that allowed us to settle into it."

    If Hearts play like they did in the second half then there's no reason to fear anything. They've got a real opportunity. Privately I think Robbie will think his team have got a right good chance against Zurich
