Hearts star Jamie Hamill today became the third senior first team player to agree a wage cut.

The full-back has followed Jamie Macdonald and Ryan Stevenson in agreeing to a reduced salary to help the club cope with its serious financial problems, with Kevin McHattie also saying he'll take a cut.

Speaking exclusively to Hearts News this morning, he said: "It has been difficult with the club going into administration but I spoke to the gaffer and my wife about the situation and decided it was best to stay here as I just want to play at Tynecastle.

"I have been out injured for so long and missed a couple of cup finals so feel there is unfinished business here for me. I am just looking forward to pushing on now.

"It is going to be a tough season for us but I'm looking forward to getting back playing again.

"We want to help the gaffer out as it is going to be a very young team so hopefully the experienced guys can help us close that gap with us starting the season at minus 15 points.

"We need to stick together and focus on starting the season as well as we can."

He added: "The fans have been magnificent in buying as many season tickets as they have. Hopefully they can keep up the good work to reach the target set by the administrators."
