    Really looking forward to seeing our new players but also how Seelt and Ballard perform …

    … RLB is clearly looking at them as a pairing and they don’t have long to get their act together.

    Think he's looking at them as they are the only 2 fit senior CBs lol

    I'm the same tho, really looking forward to seeing how they play - Hearts have 3 very different CFs in Wilson, Shankland and Kabangu so hopefully our 2 will get a challenge today

    Hearts have got a Greek winger that they are all raving about so looking forward to seeing how they play

    Craig Gordon is absolutely class! When he was fit, he was an excellent keeper for us. His positioning was elite and "that save" is still the best I've ever seen. I don't think he ever got the credit he deserved because of the price tag. He had the potential to go to the very top if not for the injuries.

    His career has been more remarkable since he left us in a lot of ways. It looked like his career was over and he had 2 years away from playing, but he came back to win 12 trophies in Scotland, make a further 41 caps for Scotland and then go back to his boyhood club help them get promoted back to the top flight and continue playing until the age of 43.

    Great career!

    Is Craig Gordon not playing in this game? I assumed he would at least play for Hearts, if not play one half for each side?
