Heart of Midlothian Confidence is growing

Last week’s thrilling victory has certainly lightened the general mood. The AGM saw Ann Budge confirm the remarkable financial health of the club, not least due to the continued support of the Foundation and some very generous larger donations.

Whilst it is easy to aim minor criticisms at the stadium project, the speed of progress has been astonishing. Craig Levein probably had an easier time answering questions than he would have expected before last Sunday, but one key topic was how can we ensure the team is not bullied again in the derby. Injuries are not helping but for the first time in several years there is reason to have confidence our manager will not allow the team to be dominated physically.
