GORDON STRACHAN believes Hearts will have no problem staying in the Premiership this season - as long as their 'big four' injured players return soon.
The Jambos were beaten 2-0 at home by Celtic this evening but showed signs of improvement under new boss Daniel Stendel.
Steven Naismith, Peter Haring, Connor Washington and John Souttar are all still out who have been missing long-term.
Without them their club sit joint bottom of the table alongside this weekend's opponents Hamilton.

But former Celtic manager Strachan - now technical director at Dundee - reckons they'll be fine if they can nurse their top men back to health.
Speaking on BT Sport at the full-time whistle, Strachan said: "I think if they get the four players back, they've not got a problem with relegation.
"Seriously. They're that big, that four.
"They'll get a victory and they'll start winning."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
