Where we really surprised that Hearts didn’t try a leg against Rangers and let teh ibrox club meet Celtic in the Scottish Cup Final?
Absolutley not. It’s an accusation that is levied towards the capital club every time they face Rangers and it is one that will haunt them until they get their finger out and at least compete, never mind beat, them.
Steven Naismith was bullish with his pre-match comments but every Celtic fan knew how the Hearts script atHampden was going to play ot before it was even written.
Ans after what Naismith said after the Hearts manager’s teams meek display against Rangers, the message is clear as the Celtic fans call out his tactics and teams attitude:
Frustrated my arse, everyone and his dog knew the outcome before a ball was kicked today. They constantly lie down to their Govan cousins, today was never going to be anything different 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/S25p9d03KW

He's absolutely buzzing inside. A team 2nd in the league against 3rd in the league yet Hearts were 9/1, everyone knows they shit the bed every single time. They'll be flying into challenges and playing like men possessed in 2 weeks though, that's their "cup final"

Earlier this season, Naismith was tipped to take over the Ibrox hotseat after Philippe Clement’s tenure ends at the club.
At least with this result, this keeps Naismith firmly in that race when the Belgian is sacked by Christmas.
