Jose Goncalves is buzzing for Hearts ' Europa League showdown with Zurich. And he's already snapped up ten tickets, even if they are for a Celtic supporting mate.
The Jambos take on the Swiss cracks looking to spark a comeback having narrowly lost the first leg in St Gallen. Robbie Neilson's team led through a Lawrence Shankland penalty but some slack defending means the Swiss Super League champions bring a 2-1 lead to Gorgie.
Former Tynecastle cult hero Goncalves, though, reckons a ferocious atmosphere in front of a sold out crowd could see his old side through in Edinburgh. He spent four years at the club between 2006-10 and later played for St Gallen, Sion, and indeed Zurich in Switzerland, but reveals it's still Robbie Neilson 's team who have a special place in his heart. And he's already hoovered up some tickets for a Celtic supporting friend who wants to back Goncalves' former side.
