UEFA have switched Hearts' Europa League first qualifying round first leg to Tynecastle due to a fixture clash in Tallinn.

The Jambos were drawn against FC Infonet today and were set to enjoy the potential advantage of a home game in the return leg on July 7.

However, a fixture clash in the Estonian capital has forced European football's governing body to switch the fixture around, so that the Edinburgh leg will now take place on June 30.
