After back-to-back wins Danny Rohl says his "tactically disciplined" side are "ready" to face Celtic in Sunday's League Cup semi-final. But how has he inspired a turnaround?

Hearts stay top after battling 2-2 draw at St Mirren Danny Rohl’s Rangers win 1-0 against Hibernian Martin O’Neill celebrated his Celtic homecoming with a thumping 4-0 win over Falkirk at Parkhead. The 73-year-old former Hoops manager was installed along with the former Celtic player Shaun Maloney as the interim management team following the stunning resignation of Brendan Rodgers on Monday night. Celtic fans continued their protest against Dermot Desmond, the club’s major shareholder, and the board outside the stadium before the game due, in part, to a perceived poor summer transfer window. The influential Desmond sat in the directors’ box and watched fellow Irishman Johnny Kenny shoot Celtic into the lead after half an hour and then head in a second 10 minutes later before goals from midfielder Benjamin Nygren and Sebastian Tounekti in the second half increased the fun factor.

Hard evidence on the football field suggests another narrative entirely. This story is multifaceted, hence it is so intriguing. The Brighton owner, Tony Bloom, took his place in the directors’ box for this victory over Celtic, leaping with joy as all three Hearts goals struck the net. Bloom’s investment, born out of the belief that his preferred recruitment tool will prevail, has caught the imagination of everyone who has been bored by an Old Firm title duopoly dating back four decades. The singing of Bloom’s name is funny in a way – so many others behind the scenes have played a part in this success story – but perfectly captures the mood. Hearts are a fine team, presided over by a manager in Derek McInnes who looks an ideal fit. His career is being rejuvenated as Hearts march on. Continue reading...
