HEART TO HEART

Ex-Jambo Lewis chuck ready to it before Kelty

- ALAN ROBERTSON

BATHGATE THISTLE Juniors or Real Madrid, Lewis Moore knows his late dad wouldn't care which he lined up for so long as he did so with a smile on his face.

But the attacker admits he was so miserable he wanted to pack it all in a few months ago before a shot at rejuvenation at Kelty Hearts reared its head.

Moore, 25, even surprised himself when he sat down after a Viaplay Cup win last month to calculate 655 days had passed since his last competitive start.

Hip, muscle, ankle ligaments, hamstring injuries, all left a player who featured in 18 Premiership games for Hearts scunnered.

A first goal in the opening league win at Montrose hopefully spells a fresh start.
