Stephen Kingsley admits there were frank discussions in the Hearts dressing room hours before Robbie Neilson was sacked.
The Jambos poor form extended to four defeats on the bounce when St Mirren came to Tynecastle and won 2-0 on Saturday to further woes of Neilson and co. There had already been fan discontent from one section of the Hearts support with graffiti outside the stadium labelled with the X-rated message "F*** off Neilson" after the Edinburgh side lost to Kilmarnock last weekend.
And the club announced on Sunday that it had taken the 'extremely difficult decision' to let the Scottish coach after his second spell in Gorgie saw promotion back to the Scottish Premiership, a Scottish Cup final and European football last season. Yet defender Kingsley admits home truths in the dressing room lasted well over an hour after Saturday's final whistle.
