The pre season is in full swing now with the SPL clubs getting their preparations for the season
fully underway. A quick roundup: After the disaster of the Intertoto Cup Hibs were held to a no
scoring draw against Raith. Good news for the Hibs fans: There was a mystery triallist in goals.
Bad news for the Hibs fans: He was 24 year old Phil Imray of Team Wellington in New Zealand.
Could things be turning around at Vladimir Romanov's Tynecastle circus? Vlad has promised to get
"less and less" involved with the team, says he'll listen to Csaba Laszlo's opinion and
has been waxing lyrical about happy, smiling players. Still not much action on the transfer front,
and the results in pre season haven't been brilliant, but is there a glimmer of hope for Hearts
fans.
