Hearts defender facing season-ending injury
Hearts could be facing a long winter without one of their defenders, with BBC Sport's gossip column reporting that Milne has suffered an ACL tear that would rule him out for the rest of the season.

The claim comes via BBC Sport's gossip section, which carries unverified transfer and injury lines picked up from around the game rather than confirmed club statements. There's no detail yet on when the injury happened, how it occurred, or whether Hearts' own medical staff have given a diagnosis. Hearts and Tynecastle have not confirmed the injury.
If it does check out, it's the kind of blow no club wants mid-season. An ACL tear typically means months out, not weeks, and for a Hearts side trying to stay in the mix domestically, losing a defender for the remainder of the campaign would be a real dent in squad depth right when rotation options matter most.
Flagside will update this piece once Hearts or a secondary source confirms the injury and its expected timeline.
