Ten reasons why Heart of Midlothian have already changed Scottish football for the better, whatever happens at Celtic Park today... 1) Interest levels risen at home and abroad. 2) Better competition. 3) Possible improvement in co-efficients with a strong Hearts heading into Europe. 4) Reminder of what can be done with shrewd recruitment (£300k net spend in summer window taking into account Penrice sale). Blend of data from the gem-finding geniuses of Jamestown Analytics and a good judge of players and inspiring man-manager in Derek McInnes. 5) Reminder of what can be done by fans – Foundation of Hearts (“Be Part Of The Disruption”) have 8,000 members/owners and have raised £20m for the club. 6) Big-hearted benefactors like James Anderson and Ann Budge, caring for their community. 7) Big-hearted initiatives like Hearts fans buying additional season tickets and donating them to kids at Dalry Primary School, Edinburgh Children’s Hospital charity and elsewhere. 8) Reminder of what can be achieved through togetherness within a club, within a squad and within a fanbase. 9) Reminder to others that the great Old Firm duopoly can be challenged. Believe. 10) Finally, what a song and Colin Chisholm’s stirring pre-match rendition. The talk of the toon are the boys in maroon. #Hearts
