Hearts fans send 'Budge over' message to board with bridge banners as pressure mounts on Steven Naismith

Angry Hearts fans have taken aim at the club board following a poor start to the season, with hommade banners appearing over a bridge on Gorgie Road.

Steven Naismith takes his team to former club Kilmarnock this evening for their Viaplay Cup quarter-final clash on the back of a dismal 1-0 defeat away to St Mirren on Saturday.

Naismith appeared to have eased the pressure on him with an impressive 2-0 home victory over Aberdeen the previous week, but it was piled back on as the capital club were well beaten in Paisley.

Now some fed up punters have publicly turned on the board and chairman Ann Budge, making their feelings clear to passers by with a couple of bedsheet banners draped over the railway bridge that crosses Gorgie Road, just around the corner from the stadium.
