Was on a couple weeks ago , might of been after Raith or Cowdenbeath ripping into me for saying we had played poorly but we have potential this season and could create chances and I thought we had more about us.

Top Corner Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Would i be right in thinking that Levein hasn't brought anyone back that has played for Hearts since he became director of Football?

McCann - fair enough it never really worked out but there were some mitigating factors. Steevo - While he left under a cloud - he won us back - screamer at Fester, 2 goals in LC final.
