Lawrence Shankland reckons the Hearts squad should feel guilty for getting Robbie Neilson the sack. But the Jambos can at least start winning back the supporters with another derby win over Hibs.

Hearts head across the city at lunchtime after a dramatic week where Neilson was binned on the back of five defeats on the spin and Steven Naismith stepped in to rescue the club’s third-place ambitions.

Shankland was gutted to see his old gaffer go – but he’s vowed to throw everything at getting the campaign back on track. He said: “It’s never nice to see a manager lose their job.

I’ve worked with Robbie twice and have a good relationship with him and Jig (Lee McCulloch). I believe they gave their all and did a fantastic job over their spells at the club.
