Craig Gordon is not getting sucked into the noise surrounding the Edinburgh derby chaos, but he is fully on board with the hype behind Steven Naismith as the former striker looks set to have passed his Hearts audition.
The Jambos skipper is fully convinced the interim gaffer is the man for the Tynecastle throne having spent 16 years together in the Scotland ranks, as well as the last three together in Gorgie, writes the Daily Record.
Gordon is also full of belief that the 36-year-old can handle the never ending drama of Premiership management having spent seven weeks steadying the ship to secure European football for Hearts next season. Record Sport revealed on Monday that the former Rangers and Everton striker is edging towards being named Robbie Neilson’s successor in what would be his first crack at taking charge of a top flight side.
