Kyle Lafferty came on as a sub against DunfermlineWillie Vass Steven Gerrard wants to land Lafferty – but Levein is confident he hasn’t played his last game for Hearts. He said: “Kyle costs us a fortune. He does that every single week. “So don’t read anything into that. “Do I think that’s his last game? No.” Levein is more concerned about incomings and revealed he might need TWO new centre-halves after Aaron Hughes limped off.

Lafferty salutes the Jambos supportWillie Vass Levein said: “It was a tough match and I got what I expected from an in-form Dunfermline side. “They are full of confidence, they played well and they ran us close. “I said to the players afterwards that it was never going to be easy – but we did deserve to go through. “It was a good goal from Olly. “He has great technique and you can see that his touch and passing. “I like when he gets close to the goal because he is very accurate with his shooting. Hearts fans pose with Lafferty’s shirt at full timeWillie Vass “There wasn’t much space for him but he found the bottom corner. “Maybe I’m a bit hard to please, but I’d have expected Zdenek to save two of those. “The last one was an outstanding save though. “We didn’t cut them open as often as we’d have liked, but as often happens you get the goal and the other teams puts pressure on.
