Hearts have a readymade replacement for Stuart Findlay at left centre-back in Jamie McCart, who’s been unfortunate not to feature more this season
Having Shankland, Devlin, Beni and Kingsley all available for the majority of the run-in, then Findlay after the split = good news
Sir Alex Ferguson will be at Tynecastle this weekend. He’s been invited by Hearts to be their guest in Gorgie when the Jambos face his old team, Aberdeen.

Phenomenal effort and never-say-die attitude. Ultimately two points dropped because of a lack of quality and composure in front of goal. Celtic showed Hearts how to be clinical. Steven McLean an absolute disgrace for not seeing what was right in front of him and not showing red.
The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning”
