Hearts v Rangers

[Doon frae Troon]

Should be a good game tonight on BT Sport.

Hearts manager Neilson on his way to MK Dons, strange move. Not very ambitious.
I suppose he wants to make a name for himself in England. He is a long term builder and should have chosen a club that is more loyal to it's managers.

Looks like we are getting Ian Cathro as a replacement, quite happy with that. Very young at 30 though.

Where's he from? Would have liked Hartley or Pressley.

Newcastle, he has a great record and lots of experience for a young coach.
He worked very well with Levien at Dundee United producing a string of very good young players.

Thought you supported St Johnstone :smirk:

Don't see this as a great move for Robbie. He has done exceptionally well since he was appointed. I must admit I didn't think he was the right man when he was appointed, but, he has worked wonders on a limited budget. If he had another couple of good years he may well have had a chance at a Championship side down South, but, maybe he thinks he's done what he can on a tight budget at Tynecastle.

Big task for whoever comes in to take his place, a high expectation level demanded by the fans now.

Neilson will be out of a job by this time next year unfortunately, cant blame him chasing the dough but he'd be best staying put.

Just shows how far our football has fallen that the manager of one of our top clubs can be lured away to such a low level of football.

Correct, although Celtic really did pull a rabbit out a hat with Rodgers appointment.

Back early 2000's Rangers and Celtic had 2 of the most saught after managers in Europe and back in 2011 we had 2 ex players at the helm with no managerial experience. Warburton would never even have been on the radar of Rangers all things equal with the early 2000's

I do...doesn't stop me wanting Hearts to beat The Rangers

Hopefully the rangers will remember the way to goal tonight. It's been painful watching them dominate possession without looking like scoring....

He's done a great job at Hearts, hopefully he will do well in England, never seems to transfer well though.

A well deserved victory for Hearts, but guess who didn't get to interview Warburton after the game.

Well on the plus side for you, they didn't draw blank in front of goal while dominating possession!
:whoo:

Yeah not quite the solution I was hoping for to that particular problem. Still painful viewing for long-suffering gers fans!
