Elvis is sure of fans

HEARTS captain Steven Pressley insists he is confident the club’s supporters will create an intimidating atmosphere in their UEFA Cup clash with Braga at Murrayfield tonight.

The Gorgie faithful are furious the clash is going ahead at the home of Scottish rugby because Tynecastle fails to meet UEFA’s pitch criteria.

Around 15,000 fans are expected at this evening’s first round, first-leg tie with the Portuguese side and, with the ground capable of holding 67,500 spectators, concerns have been raised over the atmosphere.

However, Scotland internationalist Pressley believes the supporters will turn up the heat regardless of the surroundings.

He said "We don’t know that there might not be any atmosphere, until we actually play.

"I have no fears about our supporters. I think they will turn out in large numbers and they will generate a terrific atmosphere."
