Cathro cringes at video nasty

IAN Cathro has not watched back his live TV appearance after Hearts’ slip up at Raith Rovers and expects he would be left cringing if he did.

The Jambos boss gave a l e s s - t h a n - c o nv i n c i n g interview in the wake of his side’s 1-1 draw at Stark’s Park.

The Tynecastle men now have to replay their William Hill Scottish Cup fourthround clash with Gary Locke’s men tonight.

And Cathro admitted he needs to learn to communicate his feelings better.

“Nobody has sent me a copy of the clip yet and I don’t think I’d watch it if they did,” confessed the G o r g i e b o s s . “I ’d b e cringing more than anyone else in the room.

“But there is a straightforward explanation for it — my mind was in a different place. It shouldn’t have been but it’s a normal thing. I wasn’t happy.”

Hearts looked on course to clinch a home tie with city rivals Hibs in the next round after Jamie Walker put them in front in Fife.

Declan McManus’s lastgasp l eveller, however, means the teams must do it all over again.

But TV viewers were left watching through the cracks in their fingers after the game as Cathro stumbled his way through the post-match interview, giving a stuttering reply when asked if the result was hard to take: “It’s OK. It’s a situation where . . . How is it difficult? What’s difficult.

“We’ve just got to beat them again, don’t we?”

Hearts head coach Ian Cathro.
