Hearts coach Robbie Neilson prepares for life in top flight
HEARTS head coach Robbie Neilson has confirmed that he has already sounded out potential new signings as the club begin planning for their impending return to the Premiership.
Neilson admitted this week that his squad would require reinforcements to compete in the top flight, and he has already identified some top targets.
He said: “There have been one or two we’ve spoken to. We have spoken to their clubs.
“It is important we do that because the good players are getting interest from several clubs.
“It’s necessary that they know we’re interested in them and we’ll see how it goes over the next couple of months.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
