Robert Snodgrass is “disappointed” at being axed from the Hearts squad as interim boss Steven Naimsith admitted that the veteran’s absence made his life easier.
As exclusively revealed by Record Sport this week, Snodgrass is in talks with the Jambos over ending his contract at Tynecastle early. He signed until the end of the season last September, but has played his last game in maroon after being sent off during Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat to St Mirren before Robbie Neilson was sacked the following day.
Naismth has been placed in charge until the end of the campaign and his first match in the dugout is this weekend’s Edinburgh derby at Easter Road. Snodgrass would have been suspended anyway, but Naismith has told him he won’t be involved again ahead of his expected departure from Gorgie, but admitted it was a hard conversation to have with someone he knows well and gets on with.
