THE WEEKEND PREVIEW: New Hearts boss Critchley aiming to buck the trend as red tape drama delays Valakari's St Johnstone debut

Excitement was very much the word of the day for new Hearts boss Neil Critchley as he introduced himself to the club's supporters on Tuesday.

The Englishman will, of course, receive a warm reception this afternoon as he takes his spot in the dugout for the visit of St Mirren, but his arrival has done little to spark enthusiasm in a downbeat Hearts faithful in the build-up.

Despite this, the 75-year-old veteran boss had no outlandish promises or forecasts. He wanted to have fun, compete for the Scottish Cup, and finish as high up the Premiership as possible.
