Steven Naismith has accepted his first job in top team management - and the massive challenge of rescuing third place for Hearts.
Hearts chiefs are reportedly set to hold talks today in a bid to find a short term solution with a crunch Edinburgh derby looming amid claims they pulled the trigger on Robbie Neilson over fears he would blow a £5 million ticket to European group stage football.
Robbie Neilson's tenure as Hearts manager has come to an end after the Tynecastle hierarchy made the decision to part ways on Sunday.
“Now we can focus on the number one priority which is how we help the men’s and the women’s first teams really succeed and reach heights we’ve not done for a long time.”
When Hearts defeated Rangers in the 1998 Scottish Cup final, they did more than end a 36-year trophy drought. Without knowing it, they sowed the seeds they would later need to survive.
Hearts had more cause than would be customary to revel in Scottish Cup semi-final success over their city rivals, Hibs. The securing of a place in the Europa League playoff round means guaranteed European group stage football, if perhaps in the Conference League, next season. With that comes a financial boost loosely estimated at £5m and widely categorised as a game changer.
After joining in April 2018 following spells with Hibs and Spartans, Kaney was part of the side which finished third in the SWPL 2, missing out on promotion to the top flight.
