Hearts are set to jettison Nerijus Barasa back to parent club FBK Kaunas.

Barasa finds himself surplus to requirements at Tynecastle where Robbie Neilson, Ibrahim Tall and Christos Karipidis are all challenging for places ahead of him. Should the Senegalese full-back Pascal Mendy arrive from Kaunas as Vladimir Romanov intends, Hearts would be overloaded with options in Barasa's favoured right-back area.
