Fox on European nights, selection issues and Gordon’s Scotland return

Fox on European nights, selection issues and Gordon’s Scotland return

Hearts’ interim manager Liam Fox has spoken to the media as his side prepare for their Conference League opener against Minsk.

Here are the most important points:

  • Reflecting on the draw against Ross County at the weekend, there are things he is really happy with. It was important to come out of the game with something.

  • I know the players worked so hard last year to achieve something like this [European] nights.

  • Although he has only been in the role for a short time, Fox insists he is learning every day and is impressed with his team’s attitude and effort.

  • This gave him a lot of trouble choosing, but he knows these are good puzzles to solve

  • He knows that Minsk is doing really well, has talented players and admits that you don’t play against bad teams, so it will be a challenge.

  • I’m not sure if the lack of fans at the game will affect the performance on the pitch but insist they can’t make excuses.

  • Fox believes the team can get a result wherever they play.

  • Everyone in the squad is doing well, they have traveled, are fit and healthy.

  • Fox is full of praise for goalkeeper Craig Gordon on his return to Scotland but stresses the need to pay tribute to the players he trains with at Hearts.
