Cercle Brugge 2-0 Hearts: Have your say

Heart of Midlothian's hopes of playing in Europe after Christmas for the first time since 1989 were dented by defeat against Cercle Brugge in the Conference League.

Malamine Efekele's goal - a scuffed effort that wrong-footed Craig Gordon - just before half-time put the Belgian side ahead.

Lawrence Shankland had a glorious opportunity to equalise from the penalty spot but the out-of-form striker blasted over the bar in the 82nd minute. He has now missed four of his last seven spot-kicks.

Gary Magnee's deflected strike eight minutes later consigned Hearts to a fourth defeat in a row in a miserable season, with only one victory in their last seven games leaving them second bottom of the Scottish Premiership.

Hearts fans, were you in Belgium or following the game from home? Either way we want your thoughts on the game. Have your say.
