Craig Gordon insists Toby Sibbick’s Euro masterclass can be the turning point in his Hearts career.
The versatile defender has been a scapegoat for the Tynecastle boo-boys when things have gone wrong. But the way the 23-year-old held RFS at bay as the Jambos sealed a 2-1 victory over the Latvians on Thursday night won him new fans. When Robbie Neilson ’s side needed heroes to see out the win, their first in seven matches, Sibbick stepped forward. Instead of jeers, it was cheers – and by the end the supporters were singing his name in a way Gordon hopes can prove a watershed moment.
The Hearts skipper said: “I have to give a special mention to Toby for his performance on Thursday night. He never put a foot wrong. He drove the team from the back. For someone so young to be able to do that, he was absolutely fantastic.
