I think they probably underestimated Scottish football.

I think they underestimated the importance of having a homegrown core.

within your squad within your team it was a no brainer signing last summer it certainly is this summer and they have to do it and see just to touch on the two up front I think it's perfect for Rangers because as Marv says his hold up play and his link play and everything around that has completely blossomed over the last couple of years and he can go and play if it's Cermeti if Nadiri he could play as a number 9 he could play off him so it ticks every box in that sense as well and I don't think Danny Rule would sign him just because he's Lauren Shankland if he didn't feel he could fit into his game plan and he certainly can

Yeah, it has to be.

It says well with this, Andrew, I've been impressed with the Jamestown stuff and obviously, as Marv says, there's a body of evidence that it does work, but I don't think you can really quantify what someone like Lauren Shankland is worth to hearts.

How does that go through a data system with everything he brings off the pitch, on the pitch and everything as well?

I think the leadership thing is huge too because

Again, Callum, I don't want to be the merchant of doom here, but if you look at it, there's no guarantee Craig Gordon will continue next season.

Craig Halkett's out for nine months.

Frankie Kent, I think, is going.

Cammy Devlin's going.

I think Benny Meningame's going.

Mark Leonard was on loan and is injured.

You've got Lorne Shankland away now, and obviously the whole model for Hearts is guys like Braga.

You bring them in for low fees, flip them, and then sell them on for a fortune.

Derek McKenzie got manager of the year last year richly deserved but he's going to have to do even bigger work next season to try and get Hearts anywhere near to where they're competing I'm one of the ones that I think Hearts will get stronger as years go on because Tony Bloom his work basically has shown that however I think this is such a big rebuild that Hearts probably didn't think they were going to have to do Yeah how do you rate Hearts chances of getting it right in this window and making sure that your team are right up there again competing Cal?

Yeah, you've got three months here trying to replace him.

I also think we need to bring a bit of light into the hearts world.

The women's team did win the SWPL today.

Congratulations to them.
