Ex boss impressed by Hearts

Kilmarnock manager Jim Jefferies heaped praise on his former club Hearts and controversial majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov.


Hearts pipped Rangers to the second Champions League spot and Jefferies, whose Killie side were beaten 2-0 by champions Celtic on Wednesday night, said: "They have been up there after a cracking start.

"They've had all that turmoil at different stages through the season but the players have been fantastic to stay focused. A lot has been going on around about them and it has not distracted them.

"Vladimir Romanov has opened himself to criticism if they did fail and he deserves credit for what he has done.

"People disagree with what he does and he made the statements early on but they are in the Champions League and favourites for the Scottish Cup. That would be a great season for them.

"He made a statement they would challenge the Old Firm and there was a fair bit of apprehension but the fans and players haven't flinched. He has been proved right and has split Rangers and Celtic for the first time in 11 years."
