Hearts wide-man Saulius Mikoliunas is looking for new career challenges away from Scotland. The winger is currently recovering in his native Lithuania after damaging knee ligaments against St Mirren last month.

The 24 year old told The Scotsman: "The conditions at Hearts are perfect. Edinburgh, wonderful city and the Scots are crazy for football.

"But I have stayed there four years, therefore I would like something new. Some new challenges.

Mikoliunas was targeted by rival fans last season after television replays showed he dived to earn a penalty playing for his country against Scotland in a European qualifier.

He said: "It looks like fans are starting to forget that (penalty) incident against Scotland but referees look at me through a magnifying glass.

"It is frustrating when you get booked for nothing but I just accept it."
