I think they've got a good manager, an experienced manager, a guy who handles the media very well, speaks very well.

It remains to be seen what they do in this January transfer window.

But given how desperate Celtic were for players to come in, I'm amazed we're a week into the season and they still haven't... I know they made an addition with the right back from Bournemouth, but I'm amazed that they haven't got a striker in.

I can't believe you're saying Hearts.

I think that's what you're saying.

Because you're a former Hips player.

Hearts are favourites I still think Celtic have got the better squad so if you can get as Martin O'Neill did in the short time he was there the last couple of months ago if you can get the best out of them and you would hope they would be able to add two or three really good players that can make an impact between now and the end of the season I still think Celtic have got the better players but I would say right now hearts are favourites

No, they are the real deal under Derek McInnes, no question.

And Tony Bloom might be saying, spend a bit of money in January as well.

I see they've got a player in already.

we'll lose some more games but it makes it for an interesting league title I'm going to hear from Danny Rule in a second Andy Walker was always on tonight I was always on we couldn't get the budget for Rob McLean just yet but it was going to be Billy Dodds but Billy of course now assistant manager to Neil McCann so for Billy Dodds there you are tables have turned you were the gaffer six months ago what do you think how's he going to do both of them I'm delighted listen I listened to Neil's interview when he was doing an interview obviously getting a job today

And I think Derek McInnes has shown that with his leadership of Camarnock over the last couple of years, the reason they're second bottom is Derek McInnes isn't there.

He hasn't been able to lead them to that mid-table pushing for the top six.

They are favourites now to land in one of the two relegation spots.

It's going to be a tall order for Neil McCann and Billy Dodds.

Do you think they'll do it?

Keep them up?

I don't think they'll overtake St Mirren I saw Dundee against Kilmarnock just before the new year I thought Dundee were very impressive I think Kilmarnock and Livingston will be in the bottom two it's a huge game this weekend to see who will win that what a start that would be for Neil and Billy if they can get that win well they need it because no one's played more games than Kilmarnock yeah
