Hearts might be bottom of the table but Blair Spittal is confident recent performances will have given the next manager plenty of food for thought.
Interim boss Liam Fox has come in and steadied the ship in recent weeks. Hearts got a stoppage time leveller against Ross County, beat Dinamo Minsk and then narrowly lost to Aberdeen in a five goal thriller.
The Tynecastle board are continuing interviews and talks this week, with the aim of appointing Steven Naismith’s successor. Spittal acknowledged: “I think everyone knows there's going to be a new manager in, so it's important in this situation that we give food for thought for whoever that's going to be.” Fox has given him and the team a lift since stepping up from the B team.
The ex-Motherwell player claimed: "It felt good the last couple of games doing what Foxy has asked of me. The last couple of games have been really enjoyable working with him.
