Andy Halliday senses Hearts changing fortunes as star's pre match moan finally comes true

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Andy Halliday insists a change of fortune could on the cards for Hearts after a career first and a slice of luck of his own against RFS.

The Jambos midfielder grabbed the second goal in a 2-1 Europa Conference League win over the Latvians which couldn’t prevent them from bowing out of the competition, but a hit and hope from the edge of the box found the net via a wicked deflection - and the 31-year-old revealed the wait for a bit of opposition assistance on the goal front was long overdue.

He said: “Listen, in these European games you need a bit of luck. I thought we got that against RFS, which is something that has deserted us over the last few weeks.

I was actually moaning before the game that I’m 31 years old and I have never scored a deflection! That’s embarrassing! So getting that deflected goal was obviously that little bit of luck we needed.“We had a couple of chances to make it a bit more comfortable, but they had chances as well and we had to dig deep.
