Hearts manager Robbie Neilson targeted by 'seething football fan' during TV interview

Robbie Neilson’s Hearts charged to a fourth round Scottish Cup victory over the weekend, as the manager was greeted by a rather humorous remark during his post match interview.

Sixth tier Auchinlech Talbot’s dreams of achieving a major cup shock over their premiership opponents were short lived as Hearts secured a comfortable 5-0 win after going ahead in just the 14th minute.

The boys in maroon proved too much as scorers Halliday, Boyce x2, Haring and Cochrane put Talbot to the sword.

And although almost everyone in Scottish football predicted a Jam Tarts victory, one Talbot fan was left seething, as they took their frustration out on Neilson when the gaffer was sharing his thoughts on the win with the BBC.

In a video shared by an Edinburgh Hearts fan, the Talbot supporter could be heard shouting: “Hope you get Hibs in the next round and get pumped Neilson!”

The Hearts manager appeared to keep his composure but a slight grin began to appear on his face before a chuckle took hold.

He was joined by the BBC interviewer who shared in the laugh at the comments made by the Talbot fan.

Neilson then jokingly remarked to the interviewer, whilst pointing with his thumb towards the supporter: “That’s a Jambo!”

However the Talbot fan’s wish will not come to fruition with Hearts drawn against Livingston in their fourth round tie at Tynecastle.

Whereas rivals Hibernian will travel to a surging Arbroath that sit atop of the Championship table under the stewardship of Dick Campbell.

Shaun Maloney’s Hibs side struggled to get past League One side Cove Rangers earlier this week and needed extra time in order to do so.
