- 10:20 AMYahoo Sports — 'It looked bleak - but Vrancken has been brilliant'
"Simon: Hearts' season has gone roughly as I expected. Vrancken has turned out to be brilliant, he plays attacking football, and it's been a nervy joy to watch. If we get the defence sorted we could really be on to something this season, especially since the Old Firm are still nothing to fear.
