Wallace backs Hearts pal Mikoliunas to beat boo-boys

Hearts youngster Lee Wallace is confident teammate Saulius Mikoliunas will see off the boo-boys.

The Scotland Under-21 full-back knows the Lithuanian faces pelters at away grounds after his blatant dive in last weekend's Euro 2008 clash.

He told the Sunday Mail: "I tried phoning Miko during the week but he wasn't answering for some reason!

"He'll get a lot of stick around the grounds but he's been getting that for a while now anyway and he's a big enough character to soak it up and bounce back.

"He can still be a huge player for us. He'll show everyone."
