Andy Halliday bounced into Hearts media briefing yesterday with a 'buongiorno' and a wave for the assembled Italian press
After spending a summer of fine-dining in Florence, the Jambos midfielder proved not to be as fluent in diplomacy after also announcing his boyhood favourites were AC Milan. The press call to prepare for a crunch Europa Conference League clash with Fiorentina was certainly a more light-hearted affair than what's about to unfold tonight.
A clash which can become a door opener towards qualification for the Edinburgh club and Halliday immediately nailed his colours to the mast. He said: “I don’t want to disappoint any Fiorentina fans but it was always AC Milan for me. The kit, some of the legends they had, that millennial team and the 2010s after that, they had some fantastic teams.
