Former Hearts striker Edgaras Jankauskas has praised "wise" head coach Derek McInnes and is willing the squad to complete a stunning title triumph. Jankauskas, now the Lithuania national team boss, was part of the Hearts team of 2006 who topped the table after starteing the campaign with an eight-game winning run before going on to finish second, 17 points behind Celtic. The 51-year-old is optimistic about Hearts' chances at Celtic Park on Saturday where the visitors will be crowned champions should they avoid defeat.
Hearts legend Gary Mackay says it would be "wonderful" for supporters who saved the club almost 10 years ago to witness a first top-flight title in over 60 years. The 62-year-old was playing for Hearts last time they got close to the title, missing out to Celtic on goal difference on that fateful final day in 1986 after a 2-0 defeat to Dundee. Since then the club has faced relegations, promotions and almost shut its doors for good in 2013 due to off-field financial issues and an ongoing legal dispute between the club and Lithuanian financial authorities.
