Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Hearts v Liverpool, as the sides take one another on in the first leg of their Europa League play-off first leg at Tynecastle. Kick off is at 19:45 UK time...

Thanks for joining us this evening!

FULL TIME. Liverpool take victory 1-0 but only after a thorough test from Hearts.

Last roll of the dice for Hearts as they push forward and Paterson tries his luck from about 35 yards, shooting a foot or so wide of the right post...

Webster floats a cross into the area but it's overhit. Borini makes way for youngster Adam Morgan as Liverpool make their final change.

Into additional time... Three minutes to play.

SAVE FROM REINA! Paterson lashes a volley on the turn from the right on the angle, and the ball flashes across the face of goal, helped on its way by Reina!

Hearts working the ball forward once again as they put together a last few attempts to equalise...

CHANCE FOR HEARTS! The ball comes into the area from the right as McGowan crosses, and somehow the ball breaks for the substitute Driver who spins and shoots, but the effort is not composed enough and it's a simple enough save for Reina.

Hearts make their final change of the evening as Scott Robinson replaces Darren Barr.

Sterling again comes in off the right and runs all the way along the edge of the area, creating some nice space for the shot, but it's just too weak. Nice work from the winger nevertheless.

Dale Carrick comes on for Novikovas as Hearts make another change.

Liverpool trying to make some inroads down the left side now, and then they switch play to the right. Just passing the ball around nicely now. Sterling goes for an audacious curling shot but it's wide.

Liverpool just looking to slow the pace of the game down a bit, but they'll surely look to add a second if they can.

Harsh for Hearts to fall behind like that. Can they respond inside the final 10 minutes?

Driver comes on for Hearts who take off Templeton.

GOAL FOR LIVERPOOL! Webster puts the ball into his own net under pressure from Borini! Kelly's low, pacey cross from the right reaches Borini who gets the weakest of touches on it and Webster can't adjust his feet quick enough as the ball cannons off his shin and past MacDonald.

A few long balls being peppered about as we head towards the final 10 minutes... Hearts preparing their first dub of the evening and it looks like Andrew Driver will be coming on...

Hearts putting some pressure on Liverpool's back line but there's no cutting final delivery. Liverpool not helping themselves by hacking the ball away aimlessly, and Reina takes control by slowing things down next time he takes possession.

Downing tries to whip a cross in from the left but it's deflected and falls kindly for MacDonald who gathers it up.

Nice turn from Templeton on the left, then Hearts win a free-kick which Grainger puts into the box but Reina rises to collect.
