Manager in the spotlight: Liam Fox
Liam Fox begins his second stint as caretaker boss at Hearts with a mission to steer the club away from a nervous end to a hugely disappointing campaign.His fourth game in charge this season will be his second against Ross County.The first came in the wake of Steven Naismith's sacking, with Lawrence Shankland grabbing a stoppage-time equaliser at Tynecastle in late September.Now Fox is stepping in to replace Neil Critchley, who steadied the ship only to let a top-six finish slip away.A run of five successive defeats has taken County to second bottom of the table and they risk a third play-off final in as many years to preserve their top-flight status.The Staggies are five points behind the visitors and a home victory would drag Fox's team well and truly into the mire.However, County's form has been abject, scoring just twice in their winless streak, and they can boast one single success against Hearts in the past 18 league meetings.Hearts have gone four league games without a goal since beating County in Edinburgh and, if Fox can find a way to solve that problem and deliver three points in Dingwall, the Tynecastle board members seeking yet another new boss will be able to breathe easier with the spectre of relegation all but lifted.Read all the Scottish Premiership picks here

A former Hearts captain has delivered an honest response on becoming the manager of a rival - saying he's not the man for them if they want a proven silverware winner. Steven Pressley has been out of management since leaving Carlisle United in 2019 and was a shock appointment by Dundee to replace Tony Docherty as head coach. He has most recently worked behind the scenes with English Premier League side Brentford but now returns to Scotland for the first time in a working capacity since departing Falkirk's manager chair in 2013. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Pressley, a former captain at Hearts who featured for the club between 1998-2006 while also appearing at Rangers, Coventry City, Dundee United, Celtic, Randers and Falkirk alongside Scotland duty, has addressed criticism from fans over his arrival. He has done so in honest fashion. Steven Pressley on becoming Dundee manager He said: 'Like all management it very much depends on what lens you're looking through. f you are a Dundee supporter looking for a manager with a history of producing titles and winning honours then I'm not your man. I've not demonstrated that yet. I hope I can demonstrate that moving forward but my career to date doesn't suggest that. 'But certainly from a development perspective and creating a style of play and the way a team performs I have demonstrated that over the course. I would like to think the four or five years I've had out of football, not just the education within Brentford as a club, I have been working on my uni degree, all of those in the mix I hope brings a different type of leadership than before. Hopefully with that type of leadership we can bring success.' How university has helped former Hearts captain He added: 'I've just finished my degree. One of the things that I most enjoyed about the course was self-reflection and looking at how I can improve as a leader. When I was a player, I was generally a captain. And then I went from that to being almost a manager immediately. And you almost, through your title alone, can make people do things.

You have to manage people in different ways. And it's been a brilliant education for me. So I've changed a lot. I'm a lot calmer, a lot more controlled, a much smaller ego. Part of that has been that when you're a young manager, you want to take on the world. I still see it with so many young managers. Then you have the difficulties, setbacks, failures, you have all of those things. 'Eventually it shapes and moulds you and changes you. And I've had a lot of that, a lot of experience, disappointments, self-reflection. And a lot of growth. I'm a different character, but that's normal throughout your life. 'There were certain elements of my own management style that I didn't like. But equally, there were certain elements of my management that I did like and I think that have helped me and I would continue with. So it's just a natural process. The most important thing is to be able to reflect, to improve and be able to grow. And that's what I see it as - a journey. The last four or five years have really changed me a lot in many ways. I'm a lot calmer, a lot more understanding, especially understanding of others around me.'

Gordon eyeing 'happy ending' at World Cup
"Happy endings don't happen often in football, but it'd be ideal."As Craig Gordon prepares for his 24th season in football, it's understandable he's also thinking about how his illustrious chapter in the game 42-year-old goalkeeper recently signed a new one-year deal with Hearts and started between the sticks for Scotland in March, but even the man who's defied all odds with his longevity in the game knows the end is doesn't mean his outlook or attitude has changed, still as driven as the young man who first stepped into Hearts in 1999 and as determined as the chap who battled back from multiple career-ending injuries."Trying to be the best I can be is how I got here and it's the only way to stay here," Gordon said, previewing his testimonial next month against Sunderland."Regardless of age and what I have to do to get to that level, that's the process and that's what I stick to trying to do."No matter what I'm doing, whether it's in training, in games, whether I'm reflecting on the performances, analysing, it's to be the best that I can possibly be. "Trying to improve, I still think that's possible even at this age. You still have to try and improve things that you can improve and that's what keeps me going."The prospect of reaching a World Cup does too. Scotland begin their qualifying campaign in September, and if fit, Gordon would be expected to be in the mix, particularly given the recent struggles Steve Clarke has had in that position."[Appearing at a World Cup] would be ideal, but there's an awful lot of football to be played," he added. "Happy endings don't happen often in football, so that's something to work towards, something to give everything that I've possibly got to try and achieve and then we'll see where it takes us."
