Jamie Murray has joined his sibling by pledging his support for Heart of Midlothian's title push this season.
Last week, Jamie's brother and Hibernian diehard Andy raised a few eyebrows when discussing the Scottish Premiership run-in by calling a Hearts league win as potentially a 'good thing' for football in his homeland.
🗣️ "I would like to see Hearts win... let's just hope next season it's Hibs in that position!"

Now, after Hibs' 2-1 defeat to their fierce rivals at Easter Road last week, Jamie too has joined the bandwagon for Derek McInnes' side. "Maybe Hibs fans won't like me for saying it, but I think it's great for the Scottish game," he said on Sky Sports.
"There has been so much more interest in the league this year, with what Hearts are doing and with it being a three-horse race, you have to imagine that this will be their best-ever chance to win it, because Celtic and Rangers have struggled so much this season.

"You imagine that they will strengthen in the summer and get better, but I would like to see Hearts win. It was weird watching it at the weekend, because I was desperate for Hibs to win, but they went down to nine men and Hearts scored in the last minute.
"It's good for the league, I think. I think the exciting thing about the situation is that the league splits, so all of the teams have to play each other. Motherwell have been great this season as well.
"Let's just hope Hibs are in that position next season!"
