Hearts played out a draw with Aberdeen with Kye Rowles on the bench and no sign of Lawrence Shankland.
The Jambos missed a late chance to win it from the penalty spot as both sides had to settle for a point at Pittodrie.
Shankland remains out with a calf injury but there was speculation over the last 24 hours Hearts had received and offer from a Turkish side.
It was then clarified this morning that no offer has been tabled, but the 29-year is still available on a pre-contract with his deal running out this summer.
Meanwhile, Kye Rowles dropped out of the starting XI with new signing Jamie McCart coming in for his first start.
Not the Firm exclusively revealed Rowles was poised for a Hearts exit to DC United but it is one that has dragged on and the Aussie defender was in the squad again today.
Manager Neil Critchley answered questions on both those situations post-match.
Hearts latest on Shankland and Rowles
Asked by Sky Sports about any offers for Shankland, the Hearts boss said: “No, nothing. That surprises me. Obviously January, gossip, transfer rumours.
“But no, we’ve not had anything for Lawrence Shankland.”
On Rowles, he added: “Yes, it is getting closer. It’s not quite finalised yet. Something could possibly happen in the next 48 hours.
“But we’re not there yet and Kye is still our player. He’s been a fantastic player for us and we’ll be sorry to see him go.”
Critchley’s views on Aberdeen vs Hearts
On the game itself, he said: “Mixture of emotions because when you have a penalty to win the game in injury time, it’s a feeling of what might have been.
“But the game was very tight, not a lot in it, could have gone either way. We had the opportunity to win it but it was a fantastic save from the goalkeeper.
“Yeah, probably (a fair result). They had a couple of moments in the first half, we had some moments in the second. It was fine margins.
“I thought second half we looked a good team, controlled a lot of the game. Would have liked to have been a bit more progressive with our play.
“But we’ve restricted them to virtually zero in the second half.”
