Chris Wilder goes nuclear as Hearts next manager favourite in astonishing Watford rant amid Ryan Porteous gripe

Chris Wilder gave Hearts fans a glimpse of the no-nonsense character they could have at the helm next season with an astonishing post-match rant - which included a pop at former Hibs stopper Ryan Porteous.

The Watford boss knows his time at Vicarage Road is set to be brief with his whistle stop tour around the English Championship nearing the end game. The Hornets are lacking a sting and set to miss out on the Championship play-offs. Wilder specialises in speaking his mind and the assembled media were given a late night treat as he unloaded after their 3-1 defeat to Cardiff City.

The 55-year-old is the betting favourite to take the reins in Gorgie and was linked with Aberdeen – he was also in attendance to watch Celtic defeat Rangers in the Viaplay Cup Final in February. And a permanent migration north appears a bonafide option after he scorched his Watford stars for playing like individuals as he opened the door to his next move.
