From the source
Heart of Midlothian left-back Harry Milne's season is over after he sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, head coach Wouter Vrancken has confirmed. The 29-year-old, who has become an integral part of the Tynecastle side over the past year, suffered the injury during a training session in preparation for last Thursday's Conference League defeat away to Trabzonspor.
After being voted into the PFA Scotland Premiership team of the year last season, Milne was named one of Hearts' vice-captains by Vrancken in July.
"Harry is unfortunate, with his season finished," the Hearts boss said as he faces going into Wednesday's home encounter with Rangers without eight first-team players.
