Jiri Maxim Panos scored against Kryvbas KR and is one to watch, while the Japanese striker's J-League return has been confirmed
If Hearts do end up taking on Viktoria Plzen for a spot in the revamped Europa League group stage, then they'll be facing a "generational talent" in Jiri Maxim Panos.
Koubek admitted he had concerns over Panos' ability to handle the physical side of things - which will be tested by Steven Naismith's side in Gorgie if they go through - but the youngster's ability shone through in training to banish those worries and earn him a starting spot. "As I've gotten to know him more over the past two months, I'm not worried about him. He behaves very modestly, humbly, he appreciates being here. I don't see any signs of him flying in the clouds at all. He has great technique, insight, excellent body deception, keeps balls and sees the game. This is generational talent.
