Nathaniel Atkinson insists Hearts will ‘only get bigger’ as he targets silverware following their European run.
The right back returned to the side as Hearts bowed out of their Europa Conference League campaign in a 3-1 defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir, netting a consolation goal in the tie. The Australian international latched onto a Lawrence Shankland effort and netted a tap-in to score his second goal this season.
Ultimately it was another defeat against a side miles ahead of Hearts in terms of riches, with the Jambos also struggling to lay a glove on Italian cracks Fiorentina in the group. But Atkinson believes Hearts will continue to build and ‘bridge the gap’ on top European clubs.
