Driver back for Saturday?

Hearts could have winger Andy Driver back fit and ready for the Edinburgh Derby on Saturday. Driver has only started one game in four months, the Co-operative Insurance Cup semi-final defeat by St Mirren last month at Fir Park. But the 22-year-old will make an appearance against Kilmarnock in a closed-doors friendly tomorrow night and that could show he is ready for action against Hibs at home on Saturday.

Manager Jim Jefferies said: "I hope to give Andrew 20-25 minutes or so and we'll see how he goes. He has been training without any reaction and if he is okay, then he'll be in my thoughts. I certainly haven't ruled him out of possibly starting against Hibs. It's a big game for us as regards the top six and we all want to him."

Another who will test his mettle on a return from injury against Killie will be Scott Robinson but Calum Elliot is doubtful for the Tynecastle derby after suffering a knee injury in Saturday's loss to Motherwell.
