Midfielder Christos Karipidis is out of contract at the end of the season and Hearts have yet to offer him a new deal. "If someone wants to make contact and talk with him, that's okay," the 26 year old told the Evening News.

"But I don't want to have conversations with clubs. I said to him I will not talk to anyone until summer.

"I play for Hearts, I respect the club, so I want to finish the games and then we can see what happens with my future.

"I have four months more, I want to win something here and do something good, maybe help the team into Europe.

"If that happens and I leave, I will be very happy because I will have done something good for the club in my last season."
