World News – GB – Alloa Athletic 1-0 Hearts RECAP: Wasps cause Betfred Cup shock against disappointing visitors

It’s been 14 years since Hearts last played in a League Cup tie at Indodrill Stadium – then at Recreation Park – when Robbie Neilson was on the pitch rather than in the dugout. Christophe Berra, however, will likely start the game the way it did back then.

Hearts finished 4-0 that day and were 3-0 winners when the teams last met in the league five days ago at Tynecastle Park. Progress in the Betfred Cup would see the Tynecastle side in the quarter-finals draw next month, meaning it is only one game before returning to Hampden Park.

The Hearts boss was clearly dissatisfied with Gavin Duncan’s penalty, which won Alloa and was eventually booked by Gavin Duncan for his protests.

At the start of the second half of extra time, Craig Gordon holds a Ray Grant attempt well while the ball is moving.

Just as I was typing this, Roberts turned off the left side and his fake cross cut off the wood over Neil Parry before meeting Wighton and walking out.

Nothing is the answer. Walker came in a good position but delivered a really bad cross.

Aside from a ferocious effort by Kingsley, Hearts didn’t look like they’d get into the final third, let alone score a goal.

Taggart goes down to the right and his cross is guided into the gate by Buchanan, but Gordon dives to his left and tips it over the post.

Walker stormed into the Alloa box, but just as it looked like he was going to score, Jamieson slipped in and blocked. Naismith wanted a passport.
