Vrancken on new Hearts captain, Ba-Sy inclusion & Sturm Graz

[SNS] Hearts head coach Wouter Vrancken has been speaking to the media before Tuesday night's Champions League second-round qualifier against Sturm Graz. Here are they key parts of what the Belgian said: Hearts are "as ready as possible" to give their best after working hard to get to this point in pre-season. Harry Milne will captain the squad tomorrow night, with injured centre-back Craig Halkett named as the club's captain and Stephen Kinglsey, Jamie McCart and Blair Spittal also in the leadership group Striker Amadou Ba-Sy had such an impact in Friday's friendly win against Rayo Vallecano that it would have been a "mistake" not to add him to the squad. Sturm Graz are a "strong" side with plenty of physicality but also some good players. Hearts have done their analysis as always and feel there are areas they can get opportunities. Vrancken says he tried to be "open" with those who missed the squad and praised Josh McPake in particular as one of those who had his best game in Friday's friendly. If Hearts have the right quality on the ball they can have success against Sturm Graz's pressure. Important to show "guts" from the start and not think about the next round, or other qualifiers and get distracted.
