FORMER Hearts midfielder Kenny Black will make an emotional return to Tynecastle tonight – and admits his hardest decision will be which players to leave out.
Black, now manager of Airdrie United, brings his side to the Capital to face Csaba Laszlo's side in the second round of the Co-operative Insurance Cup and is hoping to pull off a shock result – his side have taken just three points from their opening
three games of the new domestic campaign.
Black, who has a full squad to choose from, said: "Obviously everyone is desperate to play. The most difficult thing will be deciding who misses out. We've been fortunate in that we have had a fairly settled squad so far this season. I've been happy with the way that they have performed in the league, although we have yet to win a game.
"We've had three 0-0 draws and been unfortunate in the first two. Saturday (against Dunfermline] was probably the worst performance but I don't think that there's any point in making wholesale changes."
It will be Black's first trip back to Tynecastle as a manager and he's confident that his players will give a good account of themselves.
He added: "The players who were already at the club, and those I have brought in over the summer, all want to play in games like tonight's."
