Heart of Midlothian We need home comforts

I blame Jamie Macdonald. First he costs Pedro Caixinha the Rangers job and they beat us, then he saves from Isma Goncalves and a possible 2-1 win becomes a loss. I joke, but football can turn on small things and that gives me hope we can do better. The first-half performance was our worst in a poor season but the second improved to the point we even looked like winning. Lewis Moore began to show the directness and confidence to inspire others and we fashioned chances that should have secured at least a draw.

The international break is well timed to get injured players back and set up our muchneeded return to Tynecastle. We could be lower down the league after so many away games and home comforts may yet see a revival in fortunes.
