Hearts Suffer Chastening CL Defeat in Nightmare First Game for Vrancken The UEFA Champions League qualifying campaign has begun on a disastrous note for Wouter Vrancken's Hearts, who suffered a 4 0 thrashing at the hands of Sturm Graz.
The Belgian coach's first game in charge was marked by set piece issues that plagued his team last season and raised more questions than answers about his tactics and team selection.
Vrancken's decision to name two debutants, Calvin Miller and Malachi Fagan Walcott, in the starting lineup backfired, and the early goal conceded from a long throw in was a telling blow.
