Laptop left at home but Ian Cathro presses all right buttons
The man who has promised Hearts fans that his team will expect to win whether it's 'rain, sun, no matter what' was greeted by a sky from Gorgie's grotty past when he got down to work yesterday. A giant grey dog blanket hung over the old stadium reminiscent of the days when lums reeked and brewery chimneys belched '“ an era that Ian Cathro, just 30, never experienced and will only be able to read about in books.
Well, he might do this. In the days leading up to his appointment he was described as “bookish”, among other things. Many other things, in fact. Rarely can a man have had his character so scrutinised before most of us have met him.
“I had no idea I was so popular!” he beamed, seeming to knock down one part of the scepticism surrounding him: that he’s a reticent fellow and might not be able to command a roomful of hardened professional footballers.
