Hearts midfielder Ryan Stevenson misses the Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash

Hearts midfielder Ryan Stevenson misses the Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at Dundee on Saturday after suffering concussion during Wednesday's cup win over Dundee United.

Scotland Under-21 goalkeeper Mark Ridgers will return to training next week while fellow knee-injury victim Jamie Hamill will not be far behind him.

Dale Carrick remains on the sidelines following hernia surgery while Darren Barr's red card in the cup at Tannadice will not affect his SPL eligibility.

Left-back Brian Easton has joined Dundee's lengthy injury list after being ruled out for up to eight weeks with a hamstring injury suffered three minutes into last weekend's defeat by Aberdeen.

Midfielder Mark Kerr was earlier ruled out for a similar length of time with a knee injury ahead of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash against Hearts.

Davide Grassi (knee), Stephen O'Donnell (hamstring), Mark Stewart (knee), Carl Finnigan (knee) and Jamie McCluskey (Achilles) are set to miss out again.
