Hearts learn Conference League opponents including showdown with Mo Salah

Hearts will face off against Mo Salah’s Trabzonspor and teams like Monaco in the Conference League after a dramatic penalty shoot-out win in midweek.

The Jambos knocked Rapid Vienna out on penalties and reached the group stage following a 2-2 draw in Austria.

Hearts bounced back from conceding the opening goal and losing Tomas Magnusson to a 75th-minute red card to take the game to extra time through Landry Kabore’s equaliser.

The ten men went ahead in the tie through Calvin Miller’s volley, and Hearts again recovered from the blow of conceding in the 119th minute, which made it 4-4 on aggregate.

Goalkeeper Beau Reus saved twice during the shoot-out to send Hearts through and show they can compete away from home in Europe following heavy defeats by Sturm Graz and Benfica in the Champions and Europa leagues, respectively.
