Robbie Neilson admits it was 'disappointing' to see graffiti aimed at him and his Hearts side but that he must take it 'on the chin'.
The less-than subliminal message was graffitied across a club crest outside Tynecastle following a defeat to Kilmarnock on Saturday that saw the Jambos make it five games out of the previous six lost in their plight to remain in third place. Hearts take on St Mirren and Ross County with an Edinburgh derby sandwiched in between before the split.
And Neilson admits its hard to avoid the critical nature of the X-rated message aimed at him, but that he believes it won't derail the Gorgie's plan to cement third spot. The gaffer insists its part and parcel of being at a big club to receive such heavy criticism but that he has to battle the ups and the downs.
