Hearts captain Christophe Berra makes return in win over Linlithgow Rose
Berra played the first half of the game which marked the opening of the East of Scotland League club’s new floodlights.
The 33-year-old tore his hamstring playing against Celtic in August and was expected to miss six months of action. However, following a remarkable recovery, he resumed full training last week three months ahead of schedule.
