Hearts forget cup final loss and focus on promotion – Steven Naismith
Steven Naismith implies Hearts will put aside their William Hill Scottish Cup final failure to try to return to the Premiership.
The Championship leaders were defeated 4-3 in a penalty shootout against Celtic at Hampden Park on Sunday. First, they tried to equalize 2-0 down at half-time then 3-2 down at half-time in extra-time to 3-3.
Hearts
will now concentrate their thought on the visit of Ayr United on Saturday.
The Gorgie team’s captain,
Naismith
said:
“I don’t think we will be feeling sorry for ourselves.
“I don’t think that has entered anybody’s mind. It was sheer disappointment because we were so close.
“At one point you are two penalties way. That is what is hurting, that we were that close to winning a Scottish Cup.
“It is hard work to get to a final, let alone win them. We put ourselves in some great situations and probably couldn’t ask any more from the boys.
“We will be disappointed for a few days but I can’t see it lingering on after that.
“We are fully focused in terms of what we need to do to this season to get back to the Premiership.”
