Heart of Midlothian will stick to their pressing game in the aftermath of Sunday's 7-1 humiliation by Celtic despite next facing a Mo Salah-inspired Trabzonspor in Turkey, head coach Wouter Vrancken has insisted.

The Belgian insists it is just a case of improving their defensive organisation when possession is lost and showing greater composure on the ball.

Hearts have a point from a 1-1 home draw with Danish side Nordsjaelland as they travel to Trabzon in north eastern Turkey to face a side who impressed with an opening 4-2 win over KuPS in Finland.

Egypt forward Salah and fellow former Liverpool player Fabinho, the Brazil midfielder, are among the players acquired at a cost of nearly £60m this summer for a side currently fifth in the Turkish Super Lig after Monday's 2-0 win over Besiktas.

"Of course there are good footballers in the team," Vrancken said. "There are a lot of players who can change the result, not just Salah.

"They have a complete team, especially since the new manager came in. They have had a really good run of results, scored a lot of goals and have a lot of individual quality.

"Every team has its strengths and weaknesses. We will try to find those weaknesses and try to get results."

Vrancken reckons Trabzonspor have a similar potential to Benfica, who hammered Hearts 6-1 in Lisbon during Europa League qualifying.

"We have to be ready and do better in some areas than we did on Sunday, without losing our belief or our guts," he said.

"We have our principles in terms of our defensive block and pressing. We have our moments to press and that is always the same.

"The only thing we did not do well enough against Celtic was our rest defence, for sure, and our quality on the ball.

"If you lose the ball too easily and there is no back-up, you are totally exposed at the back. This is a moment when you learn a lot.

"We lost our faith against Celtic last week. We have to keep our faith. If we play with faith, we will get better results."

Trabzonspor head coach Thomas Reis, meanwhile, is taking nothing for granted despite Hearts' Sunday thrashing.

"These are dangerous situations at the same time," he said. "Because they will try to show that this was a mistake and that this was something that happened once.

"We are talking about a good team. It is a team that is trying to put pressure on each other and a team that is trying to apply man-to-man pressure."

Salah was one of only five Trabzonspor players to keep their place for Monday's win over Besiktas after also featuring from the start of last week's defeat of KuPS.

Defender Cenk Ozkacar, midfielders Melih Kabasakal, Benjamin Bouchouari and Batista Mendy, plus Nigeria striker Paul Onuachu, were missing from the squad.

Hearts have travelled without versatile midfielder Oisin McEntee and centre-half Stuart Findlay.

Vrancken admits the number of injuries to key players has disrupted his side's progress this season, with Blair Spittal, Tom Renaud, Ageu and Craig Halkett among those to have missed significant periods.

"I've never had such an experience in my life," he added. "All the injuries happened in the same area, in central midfield."
