Mike Tullberg has declared himself ready to play for Hearts in Saturday's Edinburgh derby after five months out injured. "This has been an absolute nightmare for me," the 23-year-old told Hearts News.

"I never thought I was going to be out for so long but I'm feeling good now and hopefully everything is behind me.

"I only ever wanted to come to Edinburgh and play well for Hearts.

"I haven't been able to do that yet but hopefully I can get a game in the next few weeks and take it from there.

"I know we have the derby this weekend at Easter Road and who knows what could happen?

"I'm feeling good, I'm back in full training but it will be up to the gaffer to decide."
