Stuart Findlay believes Hearts showed their mettle in last night’s Premiership win over Aberdeen.
The big defender was part of a rock solid defence that kept a clean sheet – a fourth in five competitive games this season – and popped up at the other end to score the Jambos’ second and seal all three points.
He told Hearts TV after the game that it was a performance to be proud of as they strive to make Tynecastle Park a fortress.
He said; “I think it was a very, very good night for us. I think we set out and started the game exactly how we wanted.
“I thought we were kind of aggressive, tenacious in their face and got off to a really good start off the goal. I think we were unlucky probably not to add to the lead by the end of the first half, but I think second half we always knew Aberdeen were going to come out on a good side.
“They were going to hit us with something, but I thought we defended really, really well for that first initial 15-20 minutes.
“Then we got a foothold in the game again and then I think we got the second goal at a really, really good time. With the subs that came on, I think we've seen it out really, really professionally.
“I think the boys can be really proud of their performance tonight. The gaffer has made it very, very clear. He wants Tynecastle to be a place that teams don't want to come.
“I think after that performance, we've shown what we're all about. I think we've got an identity that the fans can be proud of. I think it showed in the performance, it showed in the result.”
