Milne grasping his chance to impress
Harry Milne is relishing the opportunity to stake his claim for the left-back spot in Hearts' new era after the summer departure of James Penrice to AEK Athens "opened a door".Milne has started the first two games of the Premiership campaign after being restricted to just three appearances in the second half of last term following his January move from Partick Thistle."I'm really enjoying it. I made no secret last year that I wanted to come in and play football," said the 28-year-old."James had such an amazing season last season. It was always going to be quite tough for me coming into that environment to try and displace him."He's got a move now, which he thoroughly deserves, it's opened a door for me. It's also opened a door for Stephen Kingsley as well, who's still here."There's a lot of competition for places and that's the same all over the squad. For me personally, to be able to get that nod in the first couple of games and deliver half-decent performances is a good way to go about it."Through the summer, I've worked hard and whether James was here or not, I was going to try and push him all the way to get that place. With that new manager bounce, everyone wants to impress."Milne, who was cup tied for Hearts' defeat by Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup semi-final in April, hopes to help his side take a step towards returning to Hampden when they visit St Mirren in the Premier Sports Cup second round on Saturday."To see half of Hampden all filled out in that maroon was special for me," he added."We're two games away from getting a semi-final at Hampden, so that's got to be the target."Hearts are set to have Beni Baningime and Calem Nieuwenhof back after injury but Craig Gordon, Jamie McCart, Finlay Pollock and Kenneth Vargas remain sidelined.
