Hearts star to miss Rangers clash as two key men walk suspension tightrope
Milne won’t be available for Tynecastle showdown
Table-topping Hearts will be without Harry Milne for a crucial Premiership match against Rangers later this month after the left-back picked up a ban.
Milne has been one of the Jam Tarts’ key men this season and showed his worth on Sunday by providing two assists as Hearts defeated Celtic 2-1 in Glasgow to move three points clear at the top of the league.
However, Milne was yellow carded for the sixth time in the top flight during the first half against Celtic after pulling Yang Hyun-jun’s shirt and as a result, has reached the threshold for suspension.
As it takes seven days for the sanction to kick in, Milne will be available for Saturday’s trip to Falkirk but won’t be available for their next match against Rangers at Tynecastle on Sunday, December 21.
Two other Hearts players will be walking a suspension tightrope when Derek McInnes’ men face Falkirk in their next Premiership match.
Both midfielder Cammy Devlin and winger Alexandros Kyziridis are sitting on five bookings and a caution against the Bairns would also rule them out of the clash Rangers eight days later.
