Steven Naismith expects crunch talks over his Hearts future next week - and admits a win at Ibrox on Wednesday would be a huge boost to his chances of landing the boss gig permanently.
The Tynecastle side reignited their hopes of finishing third with a 2-1 over Aberdeen in Saturday’s Euro showdown in Gorgie. That closed the gap on the Dons to two points ahead of massive clashes away to Rangers and at home to Hibs in the next five days.
Following Robbie Neilson ’s sacking in March Jambos chief executive Andrew McKinlay voiced his frustration at his club’s failure to “lay a glove on Rangers” during his spell at Tynecastle. In fact it’s been nine years since Hearts last took three points at Ibrox. However Naismith is refusing to label tomorrow’s trip to Govan as ‘must win’ even though he knows it would be a massive shot in the arm for his own job prospects.
