Robert Snodgrass is Hearts’ midfield metronome, so it feels apt that new contract talks are also running at his desired tempo.
A calming, experienced influence at the base of Robbie Neilson’s engine room, the 35-year-old scored his first goal in two-and-a-half years to rescue a point at St Mirren on Saturday. Without a pre-season when he arrived at Tynecastle in September, he has now become a firm favourite among fans’ as Hearts veteran conductor.
Neilson revealed last week that contract discussions were under way with the former Scotland international, whose current deal expires at the end of May. But, although he admitted playing for Hearts is an honour, Snodgrass maintained nothing has been agreed just yet.
