Shankland an injury doubt for play-off

Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland is a doubt for Thursday night's Europa League play-off second leg against Viktoria Plzen.

The Scotland striker picked up a knee injury in the defeat to Motherwell on Sunday and has not trained this week.

Head coach Steven Naismith says he will give the 29-year-old as long as possible to prove his fitness for what would be his 100th Hearts apperance.

Naismith's side are aiming to overturn a 1-0 deficit against the Czech side at Tynecastle.
