After the mini slump of just 7 points from 6 games since hammering Glasgow Celtic at Tynecastle at the end of October, that feels like a big win for Heart of Midlothian at Celtic Park today.
I’d be interested to hear the views of contributors who eat, sleep and breathe all matters soccer related in Scotland like @Bandage, @starryplough and @Jake_Stevens as to whether the Jambos can go on now and bridge the 66 year gap to their last League of Scotland win in 1960.
I think they have as good a chance as they’ve had in years, probably since the Albert Kidd season in reality. I’ll actually go against the prevailing jocko media narrative & say I reckon their manager will ultimately count against them. I think he’s a bit of a dinosaur & Jamestown are providing him with some good players he doesn’t really know how to utilise. I think the physicality, set pieces, knock it long, win second balls stuff suits the other half of the squad but it lends itself to lots of scrappy games of chance. They came out on the right side of it today but my tentative prediction is they’ll end up third, despite Celtic & Rangers being different shades of shit.
You’ve painted Coach McInnes there as a League of Scotland version of Thomas Frank.
It will be their best chance ever. Will depend on what the story is with Nancy and how they recruit in January. They’d be mad not to strengthen again
The Huns had a decent away win at killy.
Heart of Midlothian beat Falkirk 0-2 at Brockville to move 6 points clear of Glasgow Celtic at the top of the table.
