Remember where we came from and quit clowning around

Jambos fans should focus on helping team back up cup win

REMEMBER where we are, how far we've come and where we've come from.

That's my response to the banner Hearts fans unfurled at Kilmarnock on Tuesday that read: "Funded by fans, run by clowns, we deserve better".

Their frustrations are understandable but as a club we are miles and miles away from where we were.

The passion and all of the rest of it that supporters have for the team can reach the stage that they want to turn their wrath on the board, coaching staff and management.

But while there have been mistakes made and we all make them I just don't think these types of banners are the right way to go about things or the right way to be.

Calling for boards and managers to be sacked and calling people clowns isn't for me. Let's focus instead on a Viaplay Cup quarter-final win over Kilmarnock.

Getting though any cup tie has been the same thing since day dot. It's about winning the game and as the saying in golf goes, there's no pictures on your scorecard.

Boss Steven Naismith said he was more pleased by the performance than the result but I'm doubtful that's really true.
