Josh Ginnelly insists Hearts are a bonkers bet away from taking their Europa Conference League group hopes down to the wire. The Jambos winger believes football's ability to throw up the unexpected provides hope of maintaining their slim qualification hopes when they host Latvians RFS.
If Fiorentina beat table toppers Istanbul Basaksehir in a Group A clash earlier in Florence then it would be a dead rubber contest in Gorgie with Robbie Neilson's men having their exit confirmed. Hearts can still progress if they win their last two games and the Italians fail to bank anything more than one point and Ginnelly is convinced it can become a madcap finish to their campaign for the men in maroon with a trip to Turkey on the horizon next week.
He said: "It's football and we have all seen some crazy things happen. It's about taking it game by game and we need the fans, we need everybody pulling in the one direction. That's from Craig Gordon in goal down to the man who is last in the squad.
