NEW Hearts signings Mike Tullberg and Janos Balogh are in line to make their debuts in tomorrow night's Co-operative Insurance Cup clash with Airdrie at Tynecastle.
Tullberg, a Danish striker, recently moved to the Gorgie club on a one-year loan deal from Serie A outfit Reggina, while Balogh could become the team's fourth goalkeeper in as many games after agreeing a six-month loan move from the Hungarian side
Debrecen.
With striker Christian Nade also desperate for game time as he bids to reach full fitness, manager Csaba Laszlo is poised to make changes to the line-up which rattled up a second consecutive home victory in Saturday's 2-1 victory over St Mirren.
He said: "If we get (international) clearance in time then Janos will possibly play, and I think we will also look to use Mike Tullberg.
"Christian Nade has also done extremely well and I am very happy with him. This may be a good game to give him a chance to start."
Laszlo handed debuts to new recruits David Obua and Marian Kello against St Mirren and he knows his increased options will lead to greater problems in keeping his large squad of players happy.
Although he is also considering drafting in midfielders Ruben Palazuelos and Eggert Jonsson – two players who have been the victim of more competition for places – and others against First Division Airdrie, Laszlo is adamant victory is the priority.
He added: "Yes, of course I want to win the game. We must win the game. This is the most important thing on Wednesday.
"However, we must also look to give time on the pitch for some players who have not featured, so we will look to other first team members and even some of the younger players."
