Hearts centre-back Craig Halkett has recovered from a back spasm injury that kept him out of the defeat to Copenhagen.
Injury-plagued Halkett suffered a minor setback ahead of the Europa Conference League clash on Thursday night.
He missed the game but recovered in time to start against Kilmarnock on Sunday, which was needed given Frankie Kent’s serious injury.
Halkett admits he’s fully fit again and is ready to kick on after playing two consecutive 90 minute matches in the Premiership.

He said: “I feel fine. It was just a niggle I had before the Dundee game. It was a spasm which went on a few more days than it normally has in the past.
“It was disappointing to miss out in Copenhagen but I’m feeling fine now and I’m ready to go.”
Halkett reacts to Kilmarnock loss
Halkett featured as Hearts lost to 10-man Kilmarnock at the weekend, a result that leaves them one point adrift at the foot of the Premiership table.
The Jambos could not break down a resolute Killie and actually carved out less clear cut opportunities than the Ayrshire side despite a man advantage.
Reflecting on the defeat and what was said in the away dressing room afterwards, Halkett said: “We just said it wasn’t good enough.
“You look at the bigger picture of where we are as a club at the moment and everyone – players, coaching staff, people outside – knows that where we are is not good enough and it needs to change quickly.
“It’s something we will sit down and go through everything, then hopefully draw a line in the sand and move forward. It was hugely frustrating and is still really raw. It was just not good enough, to be honest.
“We actually started the game well. The sending-off changes the way Kilmarnock were setting up and what their game plan was.
“But from our point of view, it was just down to quality from individuals. It was just down to effort all over the pitch and it just didn’t go right. It’s something we need to look at.
“We just didn’t create enough opportunities or even half chances to put Kilmarnock under pressure. When they go down to 10 men, and then especially after they score, it’s easy for them to sit back and hold on to what they’ve got.
“But we, as a group, should have more than enough quality and ideas to deal with it. We didn’t and it’s a hard one to take.”
